Description

She has no boundaries, he’s walled off. And their opposing communication styles cause immediate tension in this explosive session. So much so, that Esther finds herself adding to the chorus of angry voices. There might only be three people in this session, but Esther realizes she needs at least three more chairs for the in-laws whose voices and opinions are always playing in the background of this marriage.

It's JustB

The wife sees nothing wrong with her behavior it seems yet she's the over-sharer bringing others into their union. She needs to have a boundary with her family.

This was so hard to listen to. Is it even possible to reconcile these 2 personalities? They both keep assuming they know what the other would say which makes it close to impossible to have a dialogue. She has difficulty staying quiet more than he does and often pointing out his wrondoings. He on the other hand does what she requests such as those behaviors she wants him to give up, without him getting his wishes. I think it's not always true that opposites attract.
