Hello! Thank you for your response! I have tried, repeatedly, to talk to him about this. If he's angry he says he wants to break up ("he would rather break up than deal with this"). If I talk to him when he's calm, he doesn't want to break up. It's so confusing. I don't know if he says no because he feels guilty or if he says he does because he's overwhelmed. I can't get a straight answer, which is why I'm wondering if it has anything to do with being newly sober. We only fight when I'm being suspicious. I want him to know that I trust him but I feel like he completely refuses to face the fact that I can only trust him if he puts effort into regaining my trust! He blows up and then blames the fight on me, he doesn't understand we wouldn't fight at all if he would just act in a respectful way (like he used to! Like WE used to!). I don't know if he's just feeling too much and having trouble coping or if he just plain doesn't care about me or our relationship anymore. I'm reaching out here for insight because I can't get an answer from him. Anytime I try to talk about it I'm "stressing him out." He also has some pretty severe anxiety issues, which he's on medication for, but I imagine are a lot worse since he got clean.
