We talked. We hugged. I cried. We are going to get through this.
He came away from our chat earlier feeling confused and uneasy. I felt foolish for trying to engineer a conversation to help him feel relaxed and at ease to actually have the complete opposite effect. My making everything as seamless as possible had actually generated a real tension between us. We talked about what we both wanted from this new living situation and I explained more about what I’d been going through in terms of last week and the decision I’d be grappling with. He apologised for not being there for me more, and that he’d been working so much. He said he was aware that I put on a mask, a brave face that was not necessary. I cried in relief and embarrassment.
We had a couple of laughs and both agree that we feel better about things now.
I hope we keep this up.
