Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.
When rents too expensive on your own & you like/trust your partner enough to think living with them will make day to day better instead of worse
Rising Star
Once you’re directionally aligned on fundamentals:
-career aspirations, friends/ family circle, kids, practicing religion, values, initial city to settle in, know each other’s income/ earning potential, lifestyle you want to live, alignment on basic finances
This too much, you can live together when it makes financial sense and work on all that at the same time.
