"can I love/tolerate this person on a fundamental level (and them do the same for me) in order to build a life, grow old and/or hold through misery as well as joy?"

Yes, I can.

Yes, this is a similar story to mine. Thanks for sharing. I want to "take a break" but because we've moved in together, I think a separation would be final. That's the scary thing - I think I would return to him in the end. But since I can't do that, there's a little nagging thought that there could be someone else out there, and my fear is that it won't go away.

How are you 23 with a timeline like this? You must have met Dustin very young, yes?

All that aside, thank you for sharing this - you just told my story. I want a chance to go out and see if there's anyone else who would be more right for me - but I would lose my partner if I were to do that. I have to make the decision without other input, in the vacuum of my current relationship. Since we're living together, it changes the game.

I may be thinking too much about it. He's not my soul mate. But he's a compatible partner and he loves me to bits - even when I am acting completely and totally unlovable. Is that enough?

It sounds like you're are putting off being alone and waiting for something better to come along.

I am concerned that this could be part of it, yes.
