Well here is the thing Im a VERYYY expressive person I can verbalize my feelings of how i feel about something probably better than most women its just part of who I am.

The communication I have the hardest with is basically anything that I feel she wont agree with, because I hate conflict Now i will talk a situation to death 3 hrs if needed. I dont like not having resolution on things, but how I REALLY feel about anything I find a hard time expressing that a sense of nervousness and overwealming feeling of shes gonna run off if I do comes over me.

So I tend to invalidate how i really feel or just put on a smile, dont get me wrong things are better now than they ever have been with her in recovery and shes been as loving as she can be given her background. I just sometimes feel everything is a facad, fake waiting for the other shoe to drop so I dont like to rock the boat much cause things are good right now...
