Hi there MC'sWife. Just a note :O
In the entire history of MC's presence here (which has been quite long), he has never said anything against
you at all, of recent note here. Sure, maybe on what you did--on what his environment does, or on occurrences relevant to the specific emotion thread, but he has never (both in Personal Message correspondence and in public) spoken ill of anyone there at all.
...Actually he has spoken nicely of you a lot x3 It was pretty charming.
Regarding what's happening between both of you: How's about dropping the excess baggage that's weighing you both down? Starting it off with an apology, and research on the 'Ego' :O Y'all can be pretty much better--and to insert honest skepticism to what scrdest said earlier? I don't think your relationship is in tatters at all!
Just a rocky, bumpy past with smooth edges on the road, but nothing that can't be fixed if you both try together; that is, without assuming negatives on one side or the other, but talking this out. And talking this out directly
You both need to trust each other more--and when the instance of distrust seems to arise, do not react badly, but point it out (ie I notice there's {something} in your voice?}, by which the other will clarify, or something along that parallel. Personally, a brief review here from me to your posts, and of remembering all his posts, both of you can pretty much get this together and all. Be diplomatic about it (ie calm voice, inquiring tone, non-threatening manner and such and such).
Knowing him, I've to note that he has a...traumatic past, and instances where anger or any perceived threat is brought up causes him to 'shut down', so to speak--he can hear everything and actually has a good answer in mind, but cannot say it due to that crippling memory; if ever this is noticed, assuage that fear by approaching the situation calmly and tenderly, and make it known that you aren't threatening him. If it isn't shown, he's not angry at you but...the general idea is sad, and it isn't
at you there. But that he feels pretty misunderstood, and alone (technically, this isn't physical loneliness) and a kind word would go leagues in mutual understanding, especially when it is known.
Y'all should trust each other more, and not put assumptions in the way of being together and/or understanding each other. He's a very understanding guy, and pretty much open to explaining things in the right atmosphere--it'll take time, yeah, but its really worth it.
Mistakes happen, but they're always temporary unless something is done about them, either for good or for bad. An apology also goes a long way in dealing with them here.
However this is all my opinion from many, many experiences, and its a real happy thing to see what you said there.
