You worded this perfectly. I could easily say the same thing about myself when I was LD.
Quote:
I didn't magically change from LD to HD, either. My same problems were there for me to confront with my boyfriend. I told him everything, up front, so he knew what he'd be dealing with, and could make a decision.
He stayed patient with me. He never criticized me. He cherished me. When I just couldn't do something... he'd give me a hug, a big dopey grin, and say... well... no big deal, let's watch a funny movie.... or go do something else... and off we'd go. He'd make me laugh, and little by little, the confidence I had lost in myself began to grow again.
I was willing to stay open with him, and I let him know what was going on with ME so HE wouldn't personalize it. I did that for him, because he was being so patient with me.
This is pretty much exactly how things went with me and the guy who helped draw me out of my LD'ness as well.
