Dear jsj32:

I need to understand this sentence you wrote: ” I am gentle and cautious, but its EXTREMELY important for me to say how I feel because I care so much and want this relationship to work.”

How are you gentle and cautious with him? Will you give a couple of examples?

And can you give three examples of what you told him “because (you) care so much and want this relationship to work”?

One more thing, it is important for you to say how you feel. Why is it “extremely” important to you, why the extra emphasis on important?
