Never got back with any exes
They were all toxic

That’s really great restraint. Sometimes I felt insecure and vulnerable where I wanted to hit them up but didnt do it.

Sorry they were toxic! You’re in a better place now than you were with them.

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month. It was great and it seemed like the relationship was stronger than ever. But one week back after visiting her, I felt a strange detachment from her and our conversation topic got repetitive and stale quick. Any advice?

Someone told me that if you make a list of the things you wish they’d said, you can think of what your values are in a relationship and the communication you’d want from a future partner. What are some of yours? Here are mine:

You have a beautiful soul.
I was wrong.
You are amazing.
I’m ready to go to therapy, and I scheduled us an appointment.
I wish I never left, not once.
You mean the world to me.
I will help you with anything you want.
I will always be there for you when you need me.
