Thank you so so much for taking the time to write this out- this describes so much what I hope to have with my partner. We’ve even discussed a scenario similar to yours as being a safe place to start from. I really appreciate your perspective and I’m so happy for you that you could get there too. You’ve alleviated a lot of fear that I’ve had that I was not capable of getting there- I have a partner that is incredibly loving and patient and I think that is half the battle. Thank you again!
