Loving a dismissive avoidant partner that also struggles with growing up, drug addiction and telling the truth is so hard when I understand why he's the way he is but I'm really to have somebody in my life that wants to be in love and shows up. it's been 8 months and dating is just , well.. weird and I'm a horrible flirt... I'm so meh today could use some words to help not be so in my feelings... thanks tabs

you did most of the emotional lifting. 8 months later and you still sound tired. maybe that says enough.

i get that. it’s weird when you still care about the version of them you built hope around. dating again felt so foreign to me too.

he said he wanted love but couldn’t even answer a text. i made so many excuses for him i forgot what i deserved. feels dumb now.
