patience | February 20, 2020
hey, it's me.
my partner is of a different race & cultural background, that alone needs a lot of patience and understanding. one trait that really didn't match with me is that he isn't a conversation keeper or what they call "coldtreatment". the thing is, we're really okay when we are together, we have lived together (the days are on & off because i still go home), we didn't have any problems. it becomes a problem when in chat & we're away with each other. some things are misunderstood or like we see it in our own perspectives. i initiated to open up about it before, because it really bothers me which makes me overthink.
after months, i still think about it but not too much. i told him what i thought about his actions and everything was certainly not how i think it is. we had a fun and meaningful conversation. he has improved a bit, but a little success might be a big step for others. right?
it took him almost a year to be better. not to change him because i wanted it, but because an open communication is vital in every relationship. after our conversation, i started to realize that all this time, i was looking for what he could be, rather than focusing on what he's becoming & how he's changing.
before we ended up our videochat, i acknowledged his actions for the past months & i couldn't forget how he smiled. i understood now, this is why after all this time i haven't given up. he taught me to be patient, i knew he could do it.
all love,
