I used to call the ex "the war department."

I'd probably internalize it and wonder what I was doing to be referred to as that. Was I that bad of a partner? Do I really make him feel trapped? Does he feel like an inmate in a prison because he's with me?

And you would be doing yourself a disservice when really, the truth is he's an ahole and the problem is his.

I'm sure at some time or another, we're all restrained in some way by our relationship. If it's an ongoing problem, cast off your shackles and escape! I sometimes refer to my ex as the "Passenger Side Airbag."

Oh, absolutely...I know it's silly but I nearly always assume problems are my fault. Part of growing up with parents and a family that espoused 'personal responsibility'. It's something I'm continually working through.
