| I'm hoping to have a discussion on expectations or ideals in marriage (or long-term relationships). Communication? Discussion of daily little things-is this important? Sex? Intimacy? What is "normal"? What about things you do together? I have a spouse who is constantly bugging me for intim... |

| We are looking at supports for someone to come into the house and help me achieve "normal" daily tasks that I can't seem to do. We have children, and they are now in preschool/school as I cannot look after them for so long. We are going to have someone possibly come in to help prompt and s... |

| My spouse and I have had great communication difficulties and differences in style of parenting, approaching conflict, managing life stresses, etc. He is quite passive aggressive, and complacent-he won't have uncomfortable conversations with anyone, and has an avoidant personality. He does not deal ... |

The psychologist who conducted the assessment throughout this year was meeting with the provincial (BC) community living agency to see if I can qualify for some supports. She met with them and apparently has to complete the Stanford-Binet 5 wit... |

| What you are describing is reasoning things out within conscious thought rather than having it done intuitively/automatically. I do it. I call it the continuous rolodex of problems to solve. As a result I've never experienced boredom. Also as a result I experience great anxiety. What causes this an... |

Well, many things suggest that but I always try to blend in, not seem too quirky and strange, etc. But, my spouse summed it up perfectly one day how instead of me seeing what's ... |

I'm trying to figure out a balance between acting "normal" (which is tiring and stressful), and saying "Hey, there are things that I need to do differently so I don't get so stressed out."
