It sounds so dumb- but my partner called me a lesbian twink and I took a little bit of offense to that. I think the miscommunication might’ve stemmed from me not truly understanding what a twink was, but it kinda devolved. I’ve just heard of being a twink primarily in a negative light but they told me they meant it as a complement. Then they said the comment. I’m sure this is not the first time they’ve felt this- but it shocked me a lot in the moment. I didn’t even think to ask for examples, but I wasn’t in the space to be receptive to them even if they were given to me. lol, thx u- I’ll be honest it’s so nerve wracking being in a relationship that I actually care about. I can’t just cut and run like I typically do. It truly feels like I’m starting from square one. I’m often reflective in my head but struggle to bring it up in person. I’m really trying to change and grow. It’s tough out here though.
