I filed - Anxious to get it over

[fightin]

I plan on being very careful. Yes, I agree, it would be easy to get caught up in it and no, I don't want a bandaid, I do genuinely want to heal. I believe our approach with both of us being very communicative about boundaries and desiring our own space will be helpful in remaining cautious. We're both introverted so we both enjoy alone time so we don't have either one pushing the other for more together time; that also helps. Plus, with my IC being aware, a couple of friends being aware, and me being honest with both the IC and friends about where I'm at emotionally with myself and with this new person I feel I have some good checks and balances in place so I can be called out on anything unhealthy that is going to impede my healing and growth.

We shall see.

I do appreciate the input, BillyHo, so thank you very much!
