Hey friend.

I haven't been as attentive here as i would like to be...can you give me a quick update on your "mood" status?

The link didn't work but i tried to google the article and there were at least a dozen huff post articles on that same kind of thing 4 signs...8 signs....on and on.

I will speak honestly and from my opinion and experiences (obv). I don't know your whole story so please disregard whatever you find way off base or annoying

"Should I stay in a safe and supportive relationship that is lacking in other areas? "

Yes. I think you should. But like i said I don't know the whole thing. I just feel that not being safe and or not being supported/treated kindly and respectfully are good reasons not to be with someone.

But you are saying that this man is safe and supportive and most importantly TRYING. that is really pretty cool. That is a good man.


No. My emotional and support needs are not met. Yes. I have to find other ways to have those needs met. No they are not always met anyway.

No I am not considering ever leaving him.

Why.

Because there is so much more the relationship.

Because I believe I would be trading one set of issues for another.

Because a good man is hard to find.

Because what we have is amazing anyway.

Are there any ways you can get your needs met outside of the relationship without hurting anybody....

is he willing to give you some freedom......

is there something else going on in your heart?

Most of the people I know are not completely satisfied by their relationship but in relationships it seems impossible to be completely satisfied so the best bet seems to find someone who you love and who loves you and who is a good person that you have fun with.

I think you need to just think about if these needs you need met can ACTUALLY be met by someone else in the long haul.

And if the fulfillment of these needs in a way that requires leaving this man is worth giving up the safety, support, love, and history you have in your current relationship.

The fact that he is trying to please you and be better for you speaks volumes.

Apparently I speak volumes too. hahahahaha

hugs

disregard this if it pissed you off and still like me.
