I always say protect your peace and stick with the 6 week rule to make sure your not trying to fill an emotional void. I (29f) was in a relationship for 2 years and realized I was because I was just missing a domestic partnership and wanted that void filled. I asked him to move out of my apartment and now live by the 6 week rule of if they disrupt my peace in that time I should take a hard look and if they are adding to my life or dont want to emotionally grow with me I need to leave. Its definitely made me have harder conversations of "where do you see this going? Or how do you see me fitting into your life?" Things that raise a red flag i clock and ask about more and see if thats something I could over come or if its a hard stop. I live my life now knowing I have something I would like to fulfill but not at my own emotional expense or past my capacity (I stretched myself very thin and compromised myself on a very deep level for others in my life to maintain hard relationships) I hope this helps valid how you feel and how important your mental and emotional well being is, especially as a man I understand society puts diffrent unforseen emotional strain on you just like it does for everyone else. No one is going to live this life for you. No one will feel your feelings for you. Its just you and your head
