You are absolutely right of course and a lot of what you say, the years of building resentment and unresolved emotional baggage, is very familiar to me. I probably shouldn't have posted what I did in the way I did as it was applicable to my relationship but obviously we are all different and what I said shouldn't be taken as meaning that this is applicable to everyone. I was a bit tired and emotional when I posted. So sorry my comment wasn't particularly helpful.
