There was no conversation about us starting a new relationship, it was more of an agreement that we both need to keep growing and that we are a good team. Since then i have been receiving peck kisses, spontaneous drives, forehead and cheek kisses. He has been very open and wants to share how hes feeling and hows his day went. He asked me to help him out prepping for his up coming fight next month, he always wants me to keep him company in the kitchen and begs for my attention when im doing my own thing. He is always asking how i am feeling. One of his friends asked us when we getting married not knowing about our whole relationship break and we managed to change the topic. He has been making an effort which i love but i cant help but fear he is going to lose himself again. Its clear to see he has self esteem problems and for some reason it always occurs after a loss in his career. He falls into this reckless depression where he has no motivation and gets overwhelmed with anxiety. His career as an MMA fighter is not easy, it is extremely draining and not that financially stable as he only wins 1 chunk of money per fight and his sponsors arent the most reliable source of monthly income. So his trying really hard to stay motivated to reach his goals even though it doesnt seem worth it right now. His self esteem and confidence plays a huge role in his life and career and in his relationship with me and it pains me to see him so lost and at times demotivated. He has recently found out that his mother has been lying to him his whole life about his dad, she made his dad sound like the evil one that abused and abandoned them but it was a lie. So his anger for his mother has increased tremendously, he is now seeking to reach out to his father to find out the truth and he doesnt know how his going to control his anger towards his mom when he sees her.
