Several updates:

H and I are continuing to talk more. He has opened up a lot more about day-to-day stuff. We now recap our days with each other, discuss interesting things we read/heard.

A few days ago, H asked how I was doing with everything. I was honest and said I am confused. H said that happens sometimes in life. He asked if I was happy having him around more. I answered I do.

Internally I have moments of intense panic. I wonder what happened to me and I feel so bad for abandoning him for so long. I wonder why he stuck by me for so long with such patience. I have a lot of guilt.

Then, on the heels of this, I feel so hurt by his BD & subsequent detachment. As soon as I feel what he has done to me, then, no sooner do I remember all the pain I inflicted on him. I assume he is experiencing the same.

Each day I go through this same cycle, usually it happens in the morning. I let myself experience it for a bit and then I turn on music until it subsides.

I feel like I wasted so much time. But I know that I could not stop what happened to me nor could I even see I was going through whatever that was.
