7 year relationship still ongoing. In year 3, we decided to be open. About 6 months later, I was going through a tough time and my boyfriend was a bit emotionally neglectful. I caught feelings for a fwb - which was a mistake. My boyfriend realized and we split for 4 months because of it. Eventually, I convinced my boyfriend (ex at the time) to go to therapy with me, and we were fortunately able to work through it.
I learned my lesson on communicating better and setting boundaries, and he realized the importance of being more emotionally supportive. We have been extremely happy the past 3 years, and I know we genuinely improve each other’s lives.
You learn lessons as you age. I still feel bad about what transpired, but we’re both glad we fought to reconcile our relationship.
It definitely changes with age. Young and wild, old but stable.
