I wish I could say I was young- I'm not.
I wish I could say that therapy has helped me be comforatble being me- it hasn't.
My current SO would never physically hurt me. He is trying to understand me. He was a happy child, his parents loved him and showed him love and security. He cannot possibly understand what goes through my head- but at least he understands that. He TRIES not to hurt me- but I constantly hurt HIM because of the way I've learned to "stay safe" (when I perceive pain, hurts, slights, put-downs, character maligning et cetera), which basically means "run away". He knows when he's behaved badly. He is a basically good person. But the relationship takes a lot of work just because of the way I think and the way he thinks (ex-girlfriend baggage.)
I'm just exhausted from the work living takes..
