@melissadivaristhompson: You are not too much. You learned to ask quietly because nobody answered when you asked loud. If you have been told, sometimes for years, that you are too sensitive or too emotional, you might not be the loud one anymore. You might be the carefully quiet one. And the partner who got quieter over the years is not the easier one to live with. They are usually the one closer to giving up. If somebody in your house has gone quieter, that is a request, not relief. Free Conflict Decoder in my bio.
