KGirl - new life, new stuff

[Mozza]

... and it's nice to have you back to over-analyze with us! You seem to be taking it normal-hard, for a six months relationship. In November-December, I dated this girl a few times and got a bit attached and when it crumbled before Christmas, I was quite sad for two weeks. And it wasn't a relationship, and we didn't even sleep together. My D taught me that it's ok to have those emotions and to process them in a healthy way, like you're doing right now.

You seem to have very good reflexes about looking for actions rather than words. Or at least in hindsight ;-) It's harder in the moment because actions might not tell us what we want to hear. Maybe that's what you need to work on: facing hard truths told by your partner's actions. And I think it's a good thing that you clarified your expectations to him. You say you "lost" six months (not sure I agree) but it would have been much longer otherwise.
