so i’ve been in a few relationships in my day. needless to say they haven’t worked out, and that’s okay. but lately i’ve been forced to really realize how poorly i was treated in those past relationships because of how well i’m treated in my current one. when i tell my boyfriend i like when he does something, he points out that that’s just what a good partner does, and if he ever fails to do it, to leave him.
i’m currently across the atlantic ocean in europe and he’s in the united states. i’m going to be here until december and i haven’t seen him since the summer. we obviously keep in contact mostly by texting but when both of our schedules align, we talk on the phone. and we talk for HOURS. today we talked for two and a half hours and when we hung up, he texted me an said he missed my voice, and explained that he just loves hearing me talk. in the past he has expressed that he loves hearing my opinions on a wide variety of topics and he’s obsessed with my laugh.
this is the first time i’ve ever heard these things from a partner. it’s overall the first time i have not felt emotionally drained from a relationship, and feel as though it’s a balanced, equal effort to make the other person as happy as possible. it’s really refreshing and eye opening, but it’s hard to not get frustrated with myself for letting myself deal with so much negativity in the past when something so good and so healthy has been out there. has anyone else dealt with these weird feelings? what did you do to make them go away?
sorry for flexing my happy relationship on y’all
tl;dr my relationship is healthy and happy, and i feel amazing. but i feel stupid for dealing with so much bullshit in the past. how do i get over it?
