Lover & I ran into another relationship speedbump. There's been a few now. A wobble. A rupture and repair. Not quite realising what I needed to talk about until we defs needed to. It's the bog standard stuff, scheduling, poly structure, navigating risk.
In the past I would've been hightailing outta there, needing to demonstrate to myself that I'm fine without them. But this person is different and I'm different with them. I'm grateful, relieved even, that ruptures are coming up.
Every speed bump is an opportunity to set our norms for the long term.
