I i deal with anxiety because my husband lied to me and he was talking to a lady. Nothing happened just discussions. As I am 4 months post partum, I definitely know I was different and difficult but now when I see his phone receiving any notification, I am having anxiety.

He has changed passwords… so I cannot look anymore.

Fear is the best reason to have a real communication about what is really going on. 

The ability to meet and talk is at our fingertips... people who find a friend to talk or text and connect with and sometimes that becomes more ............ they are looking for something? ..... Someone who really listens  makes us felt heard or LISTENS to us. Maybe someone who does not only talk about work/ home chores and stressful things.    Someone that boosts our ego share laughs.... is not critical of little  things we do.

Why not connect  with spouse or partner right?  ... 

Many people only see the disconnect when something like this happens. most did not mean it to happen .....work / life /kids take up all our energy and focus.  We just think partner will wait until we have time... but we do not make time either.... it can go both ways we assume what other is thinking or feeling. we need to connect and know what is happening.  

Well sometimes they are not really hearing things we are saying...   Communication is more then just talking/ listening it is deeper understanding ....
