Issues

 

I am not assigning cause. I love you, love you, love you.
...

1

Trust. Solution: do what we do. If trustworthy, trust will follow. If not it is not deserved.

 

Hanging out with splitters.

 

Comments to others comes here too. I want you to have all the freedom you need and deserve. Sometimes comments can set up an unnecessarily negative environment. Maybe I am sensitive. But, maybe, better to let others see -- or, at least, a combination.

Drugs

 

Alcohol. For me = do not need; destructive; can get what I want anyway. For Marta and me: it is relationship suicide. Even though Marta says "I don't mind" she does mind at some level. For Marta, the issue of alcohol is [seems to be] more than a problem - it is a trigger; even hanging around others' inebriated behavior is a trigger.

 

Pot?

 

Solution: time and behavior... not diagnosis; e.g. DSM IV does not confirm the AA stereotypes.

Partner

 

Only an issue for construction.

4

Discussing issues

 

Solution 1: time and space to discuss.

 

Solution 2: try mutual solution.

5

Sensitivity

 

Solution 1: stop it.

 

Solution 2: feeling before reaction. Hard - easier to react than to admit vulnerable reaction. But avoids stupid conflict, encourages understanding and relationship. I promise I love you.

Fear of pain and loss

 

Solution 1: Accept the situation. The river. Live with it; have fun anyway... other relationship possibilities with Marta

 

But losing the potential without trying would be tragic. Set it up. How much time effort?

 

Solution 2: If it were late in the relationship superficial problems would have surfaced and so the problem would be deep. Since its eoblem may be superficial [but triggering fear]... or it may be deep. If superficial there should be a solution. What and how to know? Sources of information.

Negativity

 

You make more negative comments than I
Your negativity is intended, mine is mostly interpreted as negative
You make these comments to others, I do not
