Oh how validated this makes me feel. There’s not enough space in this comment section to express how correct you are in this.

me starting to speak this boundaries is what started showing me I wasn't in a normal marriage and my partner was abusive

As someone who struggles with being defensive, how do I stop the emotional reaction of shutting down even though I’m trying to listen?

Our couples therapist said cursing is not respectful and it does feel like I’m not able to be truly authentic with how I’m feeling because it has to be so measured

the/a right thing is not self abandoning. expressing anger is usually helpful in preventing self abandonment. 'this is bullshit and I dislike this' is so damn true and possibly authentic.

this is wildly respectful to yourself. And it’s hard after years of abandoning yourself

This!! You have to value your partner’s influence. Their thoughts and opinions and advice.

The stage where you’re getting really vulnerable and honest with someone who’s defensive and not interested in understanding can be so devastating and so painful.

How should I handle a man (my husband) who says all the right things and takes full responsibility for his actions and never turns it around on me but then does the same thing again (cheating)

I said these exact things. He said he needs more affection. And I can’t do that when fights are constantly a disaster and he ignores me for weeks
