RESENTMENT…IN YOUR PARTNER
He seems to flare up in anger without reason.
... like whenever he is in the same room as you?
He seems to play like a 'broken record' of complaints
Normal conversation, no?
You sense he's started to feel competitive towards you or wants to 'out-do' you
As in, ‘you can’t imagine how stressed I am,’ to a blind, paralysed partner?
He's critical of you in front of others.
No, he doesn’t seem to be expressing a wish to die just yet…
He's unwilling to help you out in things he used to
He wants to know what’s in it for him...
He seems to be withholding sex from you
..and sharing it with any/everyone else.
THE ANTIDOTE TO RESENTMENT
Give your relationship a basic MOT. Wait until you have plenty of time and aren't stressed, then sit down and talk things through honestly.
That’ll be after retirement then, and, with any luck, one of you will have died first. No need to obsess over this one!
