for me this has been the biggest benefit from starting this thread. I had no idea!!! I just assumed it...
I am so hopeful for when my fiancé gets home and we can talk and he might be able to see this too, and I can reassure him that it’s gonna be hard but we can make it through. I think he will be really pleased I found you guys and have been able to educate myself through other experiences.
We have always been such strong communicators and I have found this isolation particularly difficult, but I know through all the sharing we have all been doing that we are not alone and other people go through these situations too. I am definitely hopeful and it is thanks to all of you guys.
I feel so warm and happy about this. It’s honestly made my week! He texted on Thursday he hoped I had a good session with my therapist, which made me feel positive that he still cares. I haven’t heard from him since then and it is now Saturday, but he is away working (his new job is pretty full on And challenging) and I am sure may not have the headspace for anything else as @Freida has often so eloquently explained.
I am learning every day and I hope we can continue this thread because it is quite honestly a little bit of a lifeline for me at the moment.
