JustMe

After a decade of dating, living together, and household responsibilities my significant other has still never asked me to marry him. It's been discussed and it never resolves.
Recently while arguing he went away and came back with a ring box he set down in front of me and said I've had this for 2 years but you are never nice to me. He is right I have been keeping him at arms length because I don't want to be hurt but I think it's too late for that. I'm not sure what he wanted to accomplish by taunting me with said ring. He never opened the box or even asked yet again.
I love this man but I am reaching a point where I need to love myself too. Thoughts?

You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship. You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before. You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along. Thanks so much for helping us." Rita and Mark |
