Hi,
I’m new and struggling to work things out, really need another opinion.
My partner and I only argue really about one thing- time with my family. I’ve been having counselling with a focus on me being more assertive. This has been going well but not always, especially when I am taken by surprise. My partner had admitted he is ‘harsh’ with me when I am not listening to him. when I say harsh, I mean aggressive tone if voice, raised voice; intimidating! When he says not listening what he really means is not doing what he wants.
My counsellor thinks he is autistic and has a need to be in control. Haven’t managed to tackle that subject yet!
Either way, he is increasingly nasty about my family and complaints so much about seeing them, and wants that time reduced, whether or not he is with me when I see them. Throw into the mix our young son and a family member with a very serious life limiting condition and I feel stuck.
