Here is a small conversation that turned into a small argument with my spouse…. Help me understand what was wrong with what I said.

Me- is the reason you don’t get romantic and gushy with me anymore is because you’re afraid I’m going to reject you like I used to? (Mental health reasons)

Him- WTF are you talking about?

Me- You don’t send those heartfelt messages anymore, haven’t called me beautiful in years, and just don’t get all Don’t get romantic anymore. I feel it’s because you don’t want to be rejected.

Him- all you want to do is fucking argue. I’m done. I’m not doing this with you.

Me- do what? I asked a question and it was a valid one at that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Could I have worded this better? I’ve dealt with horrible mental health issues for years and honestly didn’t know how to accept love and kindness. And now that it’s gone, I really miss it.
