Just realized I was hiding my feelings instead of talking about them

Last month I was sitting in my car outside the 7-Eleven on Elm Street after another fight with my ex, and it hit me - I'd been saying 'I'm fine' for 12 years when I was actually furious or hurt. My therapist pointed out that I never once told her what I needed during the marriage, I just hoped she'd figure it out. Has anyone else had that moment where you realize you were your own worst enemy in communication?

7-Eleven parking lots have a way of making stuff clear. Packing everything down just makes it worse.

Well I read something similar in a psychology article recently that stuck with me.
