Very topsy-turvy but proud of my emotional honesty. Had a really good conversation with my boyfriend about how we can't really be life partners and found a lot of closure and comfort with the relationship we do have. Then the next day he told me that I shown him what genuine respect, kindness, and care actually look like and that its not really there in the rest of his life. His validation and honesty were important to me, but it was also challenging to here these things and reconcile it with the path we are on. It's also impossible to know if the positive parts of our dynamic would grow or collapse in a more intense/enmeshed relationship.
Had a similar experience with my ex. They moved out at the beginning of this month, but our time together showed me what a healthy relationship looks like, and we're still close friends despite our newfound geographical distance. hope things work out well for the both of you!
Thanks!
