Shelby,

I do think it’s more difficult for you because despite the fact that yes your relationship wasn’t progressing how you wanted it to etc you two were still happy. Maybe just comfortable and chilled in one place with no progress but nonetheless, happy. It goes back to us saying previously that we’d almost be happy to put our wants /needs aside if it meant that we could be with that one person.

Yes you’re absolutely right. People always have an opinion and not everyone is always going to get along. How did you feel reconciling with him last time? I remember that the first split hit you hard and that’s when you started therapy. Did you feel anxious, insecure when getting back with him? I’m wondering if this is just normal or whether this has everything to do with my anxiety around the trauma.

I hope for your sake you sleep better tonight too! But on a brighter note, the weekend is almost over! Back to the number one distraction tomorrow, work!
