[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I could have written this same post. I need time and space to process and DH refuses to allow it. I have physically pushed past him before to escape a room and lock myself in another room just to chill. It is crazy. It's not like am a fuming raging bull, but I just need time to process, calm down and think about what happened and what I want to get across to him and I need to do that ALONE without him badgering me. It feels abusive to me that he forcibly tries to keep me in a room and won't give me the space I need.

We have been struggling with this issue for the entire 12 years we have been together. [/quote]

Thank you for sharing, that's  exactly how i feel. I am not a fuming raging bull either, but the more he refuses to give me that space, the angrier I get. At that point, im not even angry about whatever we were fighting about anymore, but his lack of respect of my need of space. I have been reading a lot about attachment styles and it's helping me understand this so much better. If you're interested google 'dismissive avoidant' attachment style and 'anxious preoccupated attachment style' which might describe your husband.  I also ordered the book 'Attached'  This video also helped me understand my attachment style better [youtube]https://youtu.be/HjNv4cJrrcs[/youtube][/quote]
