Hi, I just wanted to give an update. My partner and I spoke for a very long time about it two nights ago and got out all our feelings. I am starting to see a way through this much more clearly. And I feel hopeful. It is unfortunate this is happening when we're both abroad, as I have a feeling...

Sorry for the late reply! I went to bed 😅. Yeah, we didn't have any written rules, but constant communication and checking in were our best practices. He said he knew it was "wrong" to not tell me and isn't sure why he didn't.
