Does anyone else get so tired of the constant effort of communicating/explaining yourself with partners?
I do love my current partner a lot but it feels so draining having to constantly have these big talks where we try to explain ourselves to one another and work out our triggers and differences ect, it feels like we do that more than actual normal relationship stuff at this point :/ on one hand ofc i'm happy to have someone who's even willing to put in that effort and keep on trying despite us both strugging with mental issues and trauma but i often wish we could just be in a "normal" relationship the way neurotypical people are without having to constantly look out for triggers or practicing skills and using therapy speech all the time, sometimes our relationship feels more like a joined psychology project where we desperately try to stay together rather than just a regular partnership and i'm so sick and tired of it
