In a relationship, you have to think of the other person, not just yourself. If your significant other isn’t comfortable with something then you shouldn’t do it simply out of respect for them. Flip the situation around and see how you would feel.
Me & my best friend can literally go 2-4 weeks w/o having a conversation & can pick right back up where we left off bc we are mature enough to know that we are both growing within ourselves & that doesn’t mean we don’t care for the other. Blessed to have that. It’s rare.
