by The Problems and Unhealthy Patterns of Behavior Phase” Part 8 Introduction:
You have gone without affection, attention, and having your needs met for so long that you are tapped out. All the games have played out. The breadcrumbing has phased out. And you are out of options.
You can literally sense your partner detaching from you.
Whenever you try to bring up the reality of the situation to your partner, his way of handling things is to just peace out.
The Chase
He starts running away from you.
You don’t know what to do. And so you do what you feel makes the most sense.
You start running after him.
And the more you run after him, the more he runs away. It’s like watching Tom and Jerry, but it’s not a laughing matter.
You stop the chasing long enough to sit down with pen and paper, trying to figure out the magic formula to fix/change/control him and/or the situation.
You forget about the fact that love involves freedom. You just want your needs met.
The Chase starts up again. But the formula isn’t working out like you planned.
So, what are you going to do?
What any woman who has given herself the title “The Fixer” would do.
You are going to sit down at the table and come up with another formula.
And you are going to confront him about it. Besides, it has gone on long enough. Arguing with him about the situation is better than no attention at all.
The problem is, you haven’t even stopped to pray or ask God about his will in the situation.
You are too exhausted to even think straight.
Why?
You have been in this state for too long. And you feel that the only way that things can get better is if you make them better.
Stay tuned for the next post to find out what happens next.
Until next time,
Katina
