Something’s not right

things are stressful there is good yet bad at the same time

things are stressful there is good yet bad at the same time

hi everyone there are two different areas at the moment that are a mix of good and bad things Ill start with a bit of good news ,the good news is Ive found someone , a man whom I can relate to on a thinking level as well emotional empathy level and he has shoed me his flaws ,hes honest,kind,reasurring,and may seem tough on the outside but hes got a good heart,theres a depth to him,he shows his strengths but also his vulnrabilities as we are are getting to know each other I dont feel the need to be anything but myself and he is showing me honestly his self flaws and all but where still getting to know each other ,hes not forcefull or arrogant hes confident in himself but does have some issues which hes been willing to trust me with,hes a unique person ,we have many simularities but at the same time there are also clear differnces between us,when I doubt myself he reassures me and when he has a problem I drop evrything else and listen to what he has to say,we care about eachother cause when he keeps asking if im ok ,I also keep asking if hes ok ,I nearly cried myself to sleep last night worried about him but woke up this morning to find him making me smile,I hope we continue to get to know eachother,I may be starting to slowly fall for him and thats the thing to where not rushing we are doing things slow,talking slow,making time to just get to know eachother slowly gradually,I feel the need to stand by him,hes just right as he is,at the same time though Ive been feeling tired and Ive been busy with things going on in my life ,Ive mucked up my Job search for centrelink so Im not sure if Ill get paid this week so have to call them tomorow,also had to do a quick dash to the chemist at 7am this morning due to one of my brothers needing asthma puffer in a real hurry ,but brothers fine now,so yeah theres a bit going on,grocery shopping hasnt really happend this week at all theres not much to eat so that means having to go out again later when not so tired to get food,I guess my priority has unintentialionally turned back to getting to know someone so the everyday stuff has not been done as quickly as it should be done,although yesterday the house was cleaned but yeah busy and tired,happy yet worried at the same time,need self care again, need some rest,there was also a family birthday on the weekend too so yeah some time alone for a while would be good,this man I am starting to really like he not only takes his time talking but asks how I am and doesnt call me or spend time with me without asking first and hes also got a funny sense of humour which I like as he somehow already knows how to tease me a bit in a fun way.

Re: things are stressful there is good yet bad at the same time

Hi @LostAngel really happy for you to have found a man you can relate to so well at this early time in the relationship. Personally I feel someone who makes you laugh and plays with you is the best kind. My long term companion of 17 years is like this. Like the man you have met, he is kind of tough on the outside at times, but also an incredibly kind person as well. Wishing you well as the relationship slowly develops from this good start.

It does sound like you have a bunch of demands on you at this time. Maybe go easy on yourself for when things are not done as you think they should be. We don't have to be perfect, especially with so much going on.

Hope your day goes well with some happy moments in the mix.
