@burned_notbroken: Replying to @Emily B emotional safety is an environment, a relational ecosystem of feeling both supported and also free to express fully. When someone is a burned out pursuer, there is a lack of emotional safety - most likely in feeling they are unable to express themselves and feel heard and like their thoughts or desires matter. #relationshipburnout #burnedoutpursuer #emotionalsafety #almostdivorced #relationshiptips
I commented on one of your posts a couple weeks ago saying my separated wife said she was proud of us for taking our son to preschool interview. We’ve officially started reconciliation. I showed her one of your videos on Monday and she said that was exactly me when you were explaining BOP. I’ve put the work in the last 5 months. Sobriety, therapy, faith consistency. When we both went no contact at the end of April we both dated other people to try and get over each other. We both didn’t know we were doing that but we both ended things with the other person basically at the same time without talking to each other about it. Now we’re rebuilding and she says she notices the emotional safety, respect, and communication is great. We’ve had hard conversations the last few days, but are choosing each other. Now we’re taking things slow before she moves back into the house.

Entered month three of our separation in a 15yr relationship and I realized staying grounded was the most important thing. I now stay level headed, calm, I don’t let the little things bother me and I speak when I have a problem so my anxiety no longer comes out sideways at her. Now we spoke for 2hrs last night and got deep and she said that she isn’t really watching my changes because she’s trying to shed the only me from her head but did recognize the entire temperature of the home is much cooler and easier to navigate. She isn’t ready to reconcile but I just was curious how long your separation was and when you filed was it at the beginning or later. We haven’t mentioned the word “divorce” yet because we still have a great relationship with two young kids and we both know that’s a decision that will have to come as an absolute moment if need be

It’s only been a week, but between your advice and my therapist’s my partner and I are in very low no contact. I’m not reaching out to him and I told him I’d give him what space he needs. Three days in he reached out (about our dog) and 6 days in, again, about our dog. She is the only thing we talk about. But he brought her to my place for her to stay with me for a week, and he toured by apartment (with no direction from me). Things are still touch and go, but in my heart I know we can get through this. Thank you for your videos and your advice and your words.

I asked her the other day why she's still here she said because she cares and loves me. We were talking about situations that happened when we were together and I said if we're going to do this then I need to sit here and have these conversations as many times as its needed. She says that she sees change but she's thought that before. I asked her on a date she said yes and that I it's no difference than what we've been doing

In November my wife said she is done. Wants to make it final after my daughter graduates high-school. She's a senior this coming year.
I have stopped pursuing and have been working on myself. It's so much harder to give space when we live together and co parent all of our kids.
its been tough and some days we are back to normal most days She's is short and just mean.
trying to detach as much as I can i cant help it when she ropes me back in by calling me my pet name and we still wear our rings.
this shit sucks.

So my person has recently has been starting to try to create an emotionally safe environment. I don’t trust it. I worry so much still it’s a manipulation or some attempt to draw me back into a relationship I will never go back to, no matter how much I love my person. How long for you before you could even consider extending even a little trust in emotional safety ?

I don’t know how to give space when we still live together, we still share a bed, he still says I love you, he still wants the same communication that we had he just wants to be cold about it. And all the extra curricular stuff and I don’t mean just sex is on hold. How do I give him space?
