Misunderstandings
This whole thing, having a partner whom is willing to talk things through, not having issues addressing things, and wanting to find paths that will work for the both of us. Someone who does part of the emotional work - and whom wants to do it. It's so new. So uncommon for me. I don't really know how to handle all those emotions that which bubbles up from the deep. Feeling seen, heard, understood, loved, and feeling that whatever I feel or react in a situation is valid. It triggers so many emotions, and so many thoughts. Especially the idea that I know that I'm worthy of being treated with all of this respect and love, that I'm experiencing now. I've never really had that. I've never felt it this clearly. And it awakens everything into a torrent of emotions for me to deal with. In a sense it's overwhelming and completely out of proportion - but it's also really not that strange or weird. All in all, I'm grateful for this experience. It's good for me.
