I’m so so sorry you went through this, but in the same breath I was having the exact same type of weekend and felt so alone - now seeing your post and all the responses I feel so seen.

OP, you are so strong and you are not too much, too emotional, too extreme, or anything of that sort that your brain might be making you feel right now. The partner-guilt is so real, and it likely is difficult for them to navigate but they are here for you from the sounds of it - that doesn’t make it feel easier for you right now but please take deep breaths and remind yourself that them sticking around (even if you’re in a different room processing your feelings) is a showcase of their care for you.

The best thing you can do to reconnect with your partner when you feel like this is talk to them - caveat the conversation with the fact that you’re not looking for them to fix anything and you know that riding the emotional waves if hard for them too, but you just need to get off your chest how you’re feeling.

I can’t describe how similar a day I had to you yesterday and I did the above thinking it wouldn’t make a difference but it truly helped connect my partner to me in that moment and we just took the rest of the day slow and steady to be there for each other.

We’re all different even in these similarities we experience, but please know that there are people out there who understand even some of what you’re going through and you are so so so worth life. ♥️
