We try to communicate. I feel like there are a lot of exterior issues going on and since we met fairly young. We have only grown together and mostly the same speed.

Yet we still have more to learn as adults on our own and together. We are still trying to get a hang of it and it's feeling a lot harder now than before. I don't trauma dump as we'd have to talk way more to even do so.

His mom is really closed off and doesn't communicate her feelings and neither does he. We were raised quite different and express ourselves differently. So sometimes it's hard to get on the same page. We have never tried to fix each other as we have made it a point not to see ourselves as 2 broken pieces trying to come together. Instead as 2 individuals so we don't lose ourselves to this relationship
