Struggling but getting better

Over the past two weeks, my emotions have been a roller coaster. From feeling so stressed and overwhelmed by putting my all into a relationship while my partner sat there, to now feeling more relaxed and relieved. I still miss my partner and want to talk to them but it has also given me a lot of time to think about our relationship and what I'm trying to get from it. I've also thought a lot about my partner and if she is really meant for me. I care about her unconditionally even when I was going through some hard times and felt she didn't help. I think she might be scared of commitment and be somewhat of a narcissist without even realizing it. There are 3-4 weeks left of our break and I've been keeping my mind off things a bit but have been having trouble sleeping cause she is on my mind. I hope she has thought about our relationship and maybe things she has done that had to lead me to ask for a break but I don't think she has because she doesn't seem to think she is in the wrong. I am in the wrong for some things but other things were caused by her. I'm doing my best to improve myself for my sake and it's been hard but it's getting easier each day. Just hoping for things to get better between us once this break is over but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Hmm. Separate your sentences.

There's a pattern of thoughts, emotions, feelings, and words showing.

Depends on what better ends up being. Not always what we want or expect, but what is happening.

Good for you to keep writing it out.

at the end of your break you should have a fair and honest conversation--without the anger and disappointment and such--just state the facts and how you feel and she should do the same--get it all out there. She may not think it is all your fault...maybe she's really looked at the situation. both people have to work to keep a relationship going-it really isn't "just something happened..."

Get your hopes up, and work on the relationship's success. You can make it work, by voicing your concerns. Always talk things and use communication to keep things up in your partnership. God bless.

    My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending.  She said that there are needs and there are wants.  She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it?  The answer is mostly "no".  So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed.  I also bought sheets that I don't need...
