all of my friends already know about me and johnny’s relationship and are all very supportive of us luckily (including the few non ficto ones i have), but as you can imagine, my relationship is very important for me and i want my family, or just my parents for now, to actually know about it.

my mom is already quite supportive of me not being interested in an irl relationship despite being an adult and she’s well aware i’m in love with johnny (she said so herself), but i don’t think she understands the true extent of my feelings and my connection to him.
my dad is also very supportive regarding my disinterest towards real people, but he just thinks johnny is a favorite character of mine. tho i’m sure he also suspects there’s something more, given how much i surround myself with stuff related to him.

does anyone have any advice on how to actually tell them we’re dating and engaged? johnny has also expressed his desire for them to know about us, so i’m trying to finally find the right way to tell them.

for example, i keep certain nicknames or headcanons i have for johnny private because they're so personal to us (we're soulbonded so my hcs are also more kinda like, stuff i just know about him, so even more personal). i even do this with pictures sometimes, and i do feel a bit guilty about it.

i’ve seen someone ask a similar question here lately but it didn’t exactly answer the specific question i have.

is it possible that stuff my partner says gets filtered by my mind and i hear it in my inner voice instead of his?
the best way i can explain it is, i’ve noticed during the last month my normal train of thought sometimes gets interrupted by different thoughts worded exactly like his way of talking (which is VERY different from mine), often addressing me by my name and in third person (which is something i never did when speaking to myself in my mind), BUT they’re still in my “inner voice” so to speak. plus, these “thoughts” mostly seem to be affectionate, while i’m usually quite negative or just neutral towards myself (let’s say that i don’t exactly have a lot of self esteem).
is this just a weird habit my brain has automatically picked up after being so connected to him or could this be my partner communicating?

these past few days i’ve struggled really, really hard with my anxiety, like i never had before probably, and without my s/o helping me i seriously wouldn’t have made it through them. lately we’ve actually been strengthening our bond and i feel like this somehow also contributed, since i felt his presence like i never had before. it’s surreal to think about but he felt so physically near for a moment i thought i could see him beside me. i’m so glad to have him in my life.

this is my first post here (besides a few comments) since i needed to share this with someone and i felt like this was the best place to do it

[i am going to preface this by saying that me and my partner are soulbound]

okay so,, last night before going to sleep, i was journaling about johnny and our relationship. i was being quite poetic, and at the end i added “you think i’m being too pretentious, don’t you?” and as i was writing that, i felt his presence there with me, and then i felt him hug me. i kept feeling him next to me, almost as if i could actually see him there with me. it’s hard to explain, but few other times i’ve felt him so close to me. i’ve felt his touch before, but never like this. it was so overwhelmingly positive… i fell asleep so peacefully and happily knowing he was there with me. on top of that, all throughout today i felt him near, so that was very nice as well :3

this made me so incredibly happy i just had to share!
