Hi everyone, so my boyfriend and I were going through a rough patch (all my fault as well!) right now and we’ve finally communicated all our issues and seem to be on the same page, he told me that he loves me and that he wants me, but that I’m “difficult to handle”. He said he doesn’t mind me being difficult because he can “handle me”. That it’s not detrimental to our relationship. 
Why does that make me feel weird? 
He’s really understanding and supportive of me and he knows I’m in therapy and all that, but I just feel so guilty now knowing that he finds me difficult, because one of my triggers is feeling like a burden on someone else which he’s basically told me that I am. How do I cope with this? I know I’m hard to deal with it and even though I don’t feel like I’m going to split or freak out on him, I do feel a little bit bummed out by it. I feel like my therapy has been so helpful so far and so much has changed in me, but now I just feel like there’s been no progress because he’s never said I was difficult before when I was at my worst... I don’t know. Any ideas on what to do to cope or make myself feel better would be appreciated! Thank you 🙏🏾
