So i basically have to stop trying to impress her and try to impress myself with any progress i make? Which she will in turn, most likely, start to be impressed again
My relationship's only 2 years old, and even then my partner's slow to believe changes are permanent. She's right to be skeptical! Some of my initial changes were just to impress her, and those dropped off. Others were for me and those keep going and I've added more of those to my queue.
