OneMan answered Monday April 24 2006, 9:39 pm: I must say, you have done an excellent jobof expressing it to me. That leads me to believe that your eloquence is not the problem and lies somewhere within his insecurities. The good thing about insecurities is that they canoften be overcome. Try opening a conversation about what each of you feel you lack within the relationship. Add some sincere comments about yourself so that he doesn't feel as if he's being attacked. When it's his turn, listen to him carefully, and take the time to reassure him that what he feels is understandable, but not necessary. While talking about yourself, work in how you feel about needing your space, and he'll take the time to reassure you. Once the door is open, go in depth about it an tell him exactly what you've told me. You simply don't want to miss any time you may have for your one on one with your little ones and bond with them on a more personal level. Anything else I can add, feel free to write again.
