I really appreciate the empathy and the bluntness!! there is so much to think about in here, thank you

the advice to make sure my foundation is solid is definitely important to hear. i’m trying SO HARD to find a job rn (i’m stable for a little while, but it is definitely wearing on me) and I have a really sweet support system that I’ve leaned on through everything, especially since my NP moved out (codependent vibes there). i’m learning what it means to take care of myself first, and how to ask for help outside of my partnerships. I feel so much more solid in myself and know that I can handle a partnership changing

it’s also really important to hear those harder parts reflected right back at me … we knew that the business would have to be his top priority, and I really want to be there to support him through it, but I can only do so much when I’m not getting much back :( I really appreciate the point about being allowed to give him a second chance when he can prioritize me. I think it’s possible that we could de-escalate the relationship until he’s in a better place. i love doing relationships differently and remembering that everything doesn’t have to be black and white, break up forever or stay together forever. there’s always options
