Awhh you guys <3 <3

Yes. Communication is SO important. I'm kind of the opposite....my previous relationship made me so annoyed that I just started saying everything out loud. Now, Tom has to deal with my bluntness haha! But I think it's done so much good.

You guys are so sweet!

Both he and I agreed because I the way I grew up and in my previous marriage it will take some time to  relearn the communications and opening up more but last night was a big step forward and I know, I am safe and I know I can speak my mind and be more open with him. Like I said earlier, I knew I could before but I didn't want to appear "weak". I wanted to appear "strong"
We will become stronger and have a better relationship because now I know I don't always have to be "brave"

Best of luck with your application, TeamTollie!  :)

I'm so glad about this. It's important to constantly grow with your partner, but also nurture each other as times change. And I'm happy that he's understanding and kind!! Being emotional is definitely not a weakness, and it's so healthy that you two both recognize that, esp since the next few months will be a change for you both!

Yes, you both need to be each other’s soft place to fall.

I've definitely got the mopes today! I was fine this morning but it's gotten progressively worse.
On top of that I am PMSing (sorry for the overshare) and haven't had a single cup of coffee all day  :\\\'( :\\\'( :\\\'(

The anxiety is real, ya'll.
