My heart goes out to you, for all the men I pined for that didn’t give me what I needed. I’m not going to say something jerky like let him go till you ... garbage. He’s filling a need and giving what you need somehow. Ever the wrecked romantic, we look till we can scratch an itch we have and try as we go. As far as the manicure goes? I had a tragic one where my nails were pretty ruined. To be clear, my usual place was closed and I got what I got because I was “desperate”. Our drama is the enemy.

Yikes! I mean this relationship is still working out beautifully and I really don't think my writing implied not being treated well? A man not being ready to say "i love you" at the exact moment I am ready to say "i love you" is not a bad thing or indicative of an unmet need... it's just the natural progression of a relationship I think? In any case, I didn't mean for this to read as sad or "poor me" or "no one loves me"!!! Just trying to point out the absurdity of beauty culture brain :)
