Holding space for your partner's feelings. Is tough sometimes.

to expand:

My partner is a young father, and has an absent dad. Father's day is coming up tomorrow. My partner's birthday just passed. Lot's of family gatherings.

I imagine all of this must be triggering for him, not to mention working out of state for weeks at a time for the duration of summer.

Today/last few days we weren't on the same page with communication.

I had a shit week/few weeks. I discovered through an unwanted sexual advancement/assault from someone I considered a friend that trauma from my past (like 15 years ago) was more serious than I initially convinced myself.

Not sure what i can do almost two decades later about it. But it has had strange emotional toll, like I feel like it shouldn't matter but it does.

ANYNWAYS I'm just triggered as fuck but so is he. I just don't want to feel so alone, and exhausted. And if I was in his position I would want him to be there support me, it feels like failing not being about to hold space and support him the way I envision "good people" do
