I have no other support network or anyone I feel safe discussing this with, so you lovely folks are it. (Bunch of luckies. Clearly)
I recognize I'm falling into mono tropes of love and connection and such (i.e. there can be ONLY ONE and ONE FOREVRRR), but I'm crying alot and can't seem to shake the feelings of sadness.
Logically, of course I know he can have close loving relationships and it not take away anything from ours. It's just not feeling that way despite my old tricks and thought processes that usually get me through. Granted, this one is newer and closer than others may have been, and I felt a bit like he wasn't completely clear about his feelings for her (I told him this, we've discussed it. He feels he was clear. Naturally.) No, he hasn't done anything egregious. They've been dating for 8 months.
Anyway, just a vent I suppose. Logic and knowledge and skills are difficult to find and engage today. Typically try to do art, write, talk to others/friends. It's difficult to do those things every day, sooooo...yeah. skills. Or lack thereof.
Thanks for listening/reading!
