Attachments and intimacy
It took me 50 years....but I finally recognized and began recovery towards co-depency/anxious attachments.
Was able to begin a relationship as I continued my recovery, but starting to get impression that my partner is deeply affected by fearful attachments. The past traumas, the significant people in her life leaving, etc...
I am 100% committed to the relationship and will fight to the end (though I have had some very deep weak moments) but looking for help.
1. When my boundaries are crossed (particularly, accusational words/tone in midst of anger). My impulse is to stop conversation (or leave the space) until the mood calms down. This has only aggravated it. So not sure if I am not protecting my boundaries out of fear of conflict, or if I need to look for more effective ways.
2. I have a very strong sexual drive (started recovery recently to try to work on what ways it is out of balance and/or affecting my relationships). During these seasons of fearful attachment (pushing me away out of fear that I might leave), the intimacy/touch is withheld. I have tried every way I know of to communicate how deeply dark this is for me...but here I am.
Grateful just to be able to share, but also ready to listen.

Добрый день. Мне знакома такая ситуация. Сам нахожусь в разрыве отношений. Никак не могу их закончить. Созависимость, сексуальное влечение. Ты не один такой
