I'm (35F) in a relationship with a man (35M) who was divorced by a woman who was unfaithful. Its been absolute hell because they procreated--so they have a child together. Last night I lost it with him and cried and got upset, telling him he didn't love me, etc. I'm anxiously attached. I needed space from him for a few days before that and I felt great. Our values do align but I've been trying to fix and talk and do everything to fix it. I've accidentally slipped into a masculine space. It wasn't like this at the beginning. What is the strategy to correct this and get back into my feminine space?

  • What is the problem, and what do you think is the root of the issue? The problem is that I have fallen into a space of trying to fix things, self doubt, anxiety. I've lost my femininity and its affecting me as a person, and ruining my relationship. He is definitely to blame for bringing so much drama but my responses have not helped.
  • How have you contributed/attempted to mitigate the problem? By fixing it, talking, being emotional. I took some space to clear my head but it didn't work. I fell back into the same pattern
  • What is your current relationship status and length of time? In a relationship (I guess), 2 years off and on
