Friends and family want the best for you, but it’s impossible for them to understand what’s in your heart and the degree of emotional investment you’ve made. You do what you feel is best and trust in your journey and your own intuition. ??❤️

I messaged from time to time, being mindful of not putting any pressure on or expecting any kind of response. On occasion, the situation lent itself for me to be more forthright and tell him exactly how I felt though. My biggest thing was wanting him to know exactly how I felt about him and the...

It’s been a while but I wanted to provide an update... Well, following two months of practically nothing, I had an unexpected visit and I have my amazing man back in my life! We talked and talked and talked and although there’s a long road ahead, I now know that our feelings are just as strong...

Yes, it’s diagnosed. He was at the tail end of having treatment when we met. Was having light therapy and I think she covered off some counselling too, but not ? sure. He then stopped, as they said that he was in a good place, then a short while later said that he was showing signs of it coming...

Thanks @Freida for sharing ?

@Freida I’ve been following a lot of the posts that you comment in and it really is incredibly insightful and helpful hearing it from the other perspective. I know that you have also said that you’ve benefited from hearing from supporters about how it is for them. Would this be something that...

Yep this is a tricky one. I think I would be better with it if I had seen some of this coming, but I’m sure a lot of people say this! No contact for six weeks - only very minimal short text messages here and there, in some cases two weeks apart. I reckon I’m doing a pretty good job given the...
