The honeymoon period with my new laptop is long gone. I started feeling the issues at 8 months. Then a full blow out when we had almost hit a year. We took some serious space from each other at that point. Things weren't great when we came back together. The same old problems were there, but I was happy to be back together, so I let the issues slide. I took a little more space than I use to. We both seemed to need small breaks. But the problems were building. Its always so exciting to be together, that I ignored the signs. Especially when some new spice was added into our relationship. Maybe, I pushed too hard. I got overly adventurous. I played dangerously. And this week, Full on crash.
We've done a lot of processing and our footing is still shaky and unknown, but with some extra care, and more focused attention, I'm planning to make it through this rough patch into a constantly blossoming alliance.
