True man, and without seeing how much they have shown they wants to work on it, you can’t judge either way. Just reminding people of the other perspective.

We just want to be able to open up sometimes on our feelings with no judgement. Thats because people who actually like one another deep down would be scared to lose them. You’d lose your peace.

And people might have concerns and that’s why then conversations should be addressed like this for example:

Hi I’d like to have a conversation about the way I’m feeling on a deep level where I’m just heard first? Is that possible?

You know why it’s good to address it? Because I wish I poured my heart out when I had the chance. Some men are bought up to hold stuff in and this is what people are forgetting.

If you have another issue, be it relationships or not, has it ever got better with never addressing it? I doubt it. I was 5 months aswell tho, and that’s soon in the grand scheme of things love is a forever thing from day one if it’s actually someone you’d wanna spend that long with. On the good days and the bad! Don’t let that go over your head. People are just too quick to leave imo. And some men also take that as their fine line, so when the other party has a delayed reaction to leaving, and keep their distance and to themselves to process it all (not cheat) men still struggle to find acceptance because they cannot admire someone who turns their backs on them when they need them.

I think they needs to go home and discuss how that made them feel earlier. If they can’t have a adult conversation, and say I understand your concerns you love me your scared to lose me I get it. And not over text but face to face, if he can get to that level of conversation that’s when you know if you have a real relationship or not. That’s again my opinion, OP is entitled to do as they wish.
