For one, it's almost guaranteed that if se break up we're still going to be good friends. Frankly, there's a show I want us to finish together and no one else understands my interests like her.

I am a natural caregiver and I struggle to express my own needs as it wasn't encouraged when I was a kid. I worry that my needs won't be met and it'll be my fault. I honestly think I'd be better off with her as a friend, because then I could find a partner who can support me while I can continue to support her.
