Dear T,

You keep mentioning not wanting to hurt me. Not saying something for fear of hurting me. Where did this shift come from? I mean, I appreciate it. But a few years ago, maybe even a year ago, you'd have had no qualms about hurting me. Well, not that you'd have done so intentionally. But your focus would have been on being honest and, well, your own comfort. Not mine. Part of me feels I should talk about it, and part of me feels like I should just let it be and appreciate you sensitivity and care, with the hope that it lasts. Going to listen to the second part for now.

Love,

LT
