Hey Tee,

honestly we haven’t really talked about long term goals or anything like that. Not a thought she has really entertained herself which I’m fine with in a way because I felt like it did put pressure on me as a partner with my exes whenever we spoke about the future. It also planted an expectation in my head.

I do feel like I don’t get opportunities to talk about how I’m feeling. Only today I mentioned I have been really stressed out at work (I got blindsided by a review where I felt like it was focusing on a few little mistakes I made in 2-3 weeks rather than my entire year as a whole). I expected her to atleast ask, what happened at work? Or why is it stressing you out? But there wasn’t even a question about it. Just a simple “yeah that’s fair” as a reply. So I guess it does feel like I can’t communicate why I’m upset about things and that just makes me more upset.

I would say she is happy go lucky although she isn’t extremely bubbly. She doesn’t seem to want to open up about anything or ask what’s going on with me when I make it obvious something is up. So it can confuse me a bit and make me overthink. Maybe this is something I should mention?
