Simple question...
My partner and I are together 8 months... trying to get pregnant. She's 27, I'm 41.
She hasn't hadn't had much life experience. Before I was with her she was with an unemployed douchbag who sounded like a narcissist. She stayed with him for years until it becomes clear he wasn't going to ever get a job.
She emotionally withdraws from me... deliberately as a strategy to have me come in. This is the opposite of how she behaved with Douchbag...I've read old letters.
I got really fucked over in my last relationship and I feel she is definitely playing with that insecurity. When I get fucked off and withdraw suddenly she comes in and engages.
It's also more complicated than that.... She is generally avoident of decision or commitment. I've started to pull back and there's a big wall starting to grow between us.
If I push her to open up she shuts down even more. If I really push her she becomes explosively angry. I'm running out of patience.
It feels like she wants a Douchbag who will abuse her. Thoughts
