[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who is separated from her DH after 25 years of marriage. This guy sounds like your boyfriend. He had a terrible past, never talked about it. Over the years he would "cut off" people when he could not deal. Did not work through things. Very avoidant and, honestly, cowardly. Not great emotional intelligence. He cannot deal with his teen kids at all and avoids them emotionally, as well as his spouse. He is the adult child of an alcoholic. He likely experienced abuse and is likely to never process any of it therapeutically. He will also be the first to think that he has just moved on and that he is very "normal." He can't recognize what healthy behaviors truly are because he never had role models growing up, and he is too fearful to address his past. Big red flag. Would be a deal breaker for me.
