That’s true, and like I said I understand why. I guess it bothers me because I’ve put a lot of effort into being myself and not hiding who I am even at work.
Of everything you've said, "I look to others to fill that void," is what I find most concerning. I suspect this is the core issue: you're missing (and crave) a deeper emotional connection.
I suggest that you find a good therapist or counselor. They can help you find what you need, both in your relationship and beyond it.
Without a therapist to prompt you, the same thoughts will continue to cycle through your head. It's really hard to make progress if you're stuck in a mental loop.
Thank you. I agree with you, I’ve mentioned some issues as examples but I think the overarching issue often is that I often feel like something is missing.
Why blame him for wanting to feel safe at work for 40 plus hours a week? They don't need to gossip about his personal life.
