Dear Lindsey:

So the plan is that April 3 will be your first night in your new apartment. I think it is exciting. I hope you feel excited about it, if not now, then later, once you find yourself alone. There is comfort in being alone.

To expect that the other person in a relationship will “constantly show you they like you”, is of course, unreasonable. It is too difficult for another person to constantly show you they like you, that will be a full time job for that person, taking over all of his waking hours, no time left for him to exhale. And no one can make you not “worry about them leaving” if you are already worried.

I hope to read from you soon, if not before, then when you are moved to your own apartment in two days.
