We got on each other’s nerves just now 😥

I’m always concerned for him and his mental well-being and tend to ask if he’s doing okay when it seems he might not be. I just care a lot for him (I’m also hopelessly insecure), but perhaps I do it too much. However, he will also feel bad and not tell me he is. I’ll even ask him if he is and only for it to turn out later that he isn’t. He says doesn’t want to worry me, but I try to tell him it’s even worse when he doesn’t so I can’t at least try to help him feel better and it doesn’t get worse later. Gawd forbid, him having a really bad episode when he struggles to keep himself balanced.

The overarching problem is we just need to communicate better. Yes, we’ve been together for quite a while now and have become intimately close in our relationship, to say the least, but it’s still been less than a year since we have been together and our compatibility of actually living together as a couple has seldom been tested. We still haven’t fully understood each other and need to talk more when it’s needed so that we’re able to. I need to not pester him about his struggles so much and he needs to be honest when he is struggling.

We’ll get there. 🫂
