Thanks. I'm trying to be there for my bf, yeah. I just don't know what to say in response to him, at times. I guess phone is easier there than emails. Can make 'uh huh' 'I hear you' kinds of noises easier by phone. Maybe... This is similar to the problem my therapist is having with emails... Hmm...
Yeah, therapist was in a good listening mode. Maybe partly in response to the emails I've sent, yeah. Talking about stuff on the boards... Helps me figure out what to say to him. I guess I try and communicate stuff that I communicate here. Once I've processed it a bit and kind of pinpointed my concerns.
I think maybe... He saw that too? That it was important to me that he just listen to me because... Where I'm at in my life right now... I'm going through a period where I really need to do that with my friends (some of them have been having a hard time of it) and when I've been feeling weary with that... Turns out that my bf is going through a hard time of it. And... I really want to be there to support him (since he is my best friend). And so, yeah, I need him to listen to me. So I can refuel.
See him tomorrow :-)
It is weird... We are moving to 2x a week. Mondays and Fridays. So it is weird that there have only been two days in between and then I'm back in on Monday. I'm feeling really fond of him at the moment. Really very. I hope things stay like this and he doesn't get back to trying to push me.
I hope he can just trust me... Trust that I'll push myself as I'm able. I don't know. The relationship goes through better and worse phases, I guess. ANd sometimes the worse phases are necessary for progres...
