So I dunno. He doesn’t want to get back together because he’s afraid we’ll fall back into old patterns, even though he’s recognized we’ve both changed.
But at the same time he invited me over to his house and made me chicken soup after I did a 9.5 hour barista shift while sick last weekend so like really, I don’t think we’re exactly apart either.
I’m gonna call it being “pseudo-together”, where we’re essentially trying to treat each other better than we used to and see how long it lasts until the old impulses to be assholes to each other come back.
Are those impulses unavoidable? Are they necessary?!
