Dear Losing,

It always amazes me how easily we push people away by trying to hang onto them. It’s a vicious and maddening cycle, but you can get out of it.

You asked what I think. The primary thing I think is that you need advice and help from a qualified counselor — fast. And I mean help for you, not just your marriage.  To some degree, the insecurity you’re feeling is understandable… but you’re at the point that you may be bringing about the very problems you fear.
