Good for you for being so honest with T. And good for T for listening and getting it and supporting you and your feelings. That all makes me !

As for how long it takes to rebuild the connection...for me, it varies. Sometimes it happens right away when I realize I've been heard...and other times, it takes a little longer, especially if my trust has been shaken. I can honestly say that each time, when the connection DOES come back, it's a little stronger than it was before. T talks about how much trust we have in each other because of how hard we've worked together when we've had ruptures in our relationship.

I kind of wonder if T and I have *really* repaired our last rupture completely (because here I am, ON BREAK )...but one thing I've learned over time is that there is this undercurrent of trust and love and connection that is always there, even when on the surface, things have been shaken up a little bit.

Trust you, and trust T. You will find each other again
