[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 627006, member: 17269"] PS I think you handled yourself REALLY well by not engaging in the nasty text exchange, and by declaring the need for a break. I'll share one more thing from my couples counselling, which I found a good guideline...the person who ends the conversation, meaning the person who says "this is too much for me , we are going somewhere bad, lets stop now" (and I think that is a VERY healthy and appropriate thing to say) is obliged to be the one who reopens the topic at a calmer time, preferably within 24 hours. Otherwise it is simply shutting the other person down, and no one likes that. Hugs and good luck to you... Echolette [/QUOTE]
