Day 16 of Break Up: I have been mia the past two days trying to process a lot of things. Our conversation went well on Sunday and lasted 2 and a half hours which included talking about things that hurt me, things that hurt him, things we each have to work on, taking the time to understand each other so we can see why the hurt ran so deep and why we didn’t speak up sooner, and it ended with us deciding to try and work things out by taking it slowly. He asked for another week of no texting/calling so he can think because he is finally done with his clinical rotation and wants to take the time to dedicate time to thinking about our relationship and what he would need going forward and i am thinking about what i will need in the future. we don’t want to regret not trying again with a fresh start where we take the time to see each other truly and not hoping the other would read our mind because that’s not how things work. he also asked to see me next week so we can see each other in person to talk since we have always had a distance relationship (he hasn’t really been the one making the effort to plan time to see each other so this was surprising to me in a good way) i am still so scared of putting myself out there with him again because i am scared of getting hurt but i also don’t want to think about this for years with regret of not giving it my all.

u r hoping this time will feel more mutual. like u r waiting to see if effort finally comes from both sides.
i remember being terrified to try again too. sometimes wanting something to work out makes it even scarier. your fear makes sense.
i let my guard down again thinking maybe this time he'd show up different. the talk felt good. so did the last one. so did the one before that.
