I really like the part about how you and J discuss things even after an "argument" or disagreement, once you've thought about things further or found the words. I think this is so important. It isn't something I've been able to do in the past, especially in old relationships, mostly because I've often been told, "well that's that" or "we're no longer talking about this" because whomever I was with decided they were finished with whatever we argued about, or they were right, etc.
I am thankful that Damian and I are both willing to put in the work now to be open and honest and say no, I was wrong, or no, that isn't okay, or whatever the case may be. And be willing to listen. xoxo (of course, Brene has helped haha)
