“I can see why you think I’m being selfish—I’m not available to you as much as I used to be. All this change is difficult for me as well, but I need to do this for my own growth. If I don’t, I know I will hold an awful lot of resentment toward myself and toward you. I really would like to have your support. I know you’re feeling a little neglected right now, and it’s only natural. I want you to know that I love you very much. What can we do to improve the situation?”
