28M. No kids . I have been in an on and off with the most magnificent woman I’ve ever met. At the moment, We are split but stay in contact together. Infatuated with the idea but we can never make it that far. We have been together a year , however, up until this, I’ve never had a healthy loving relationship. Despite being on and off, maybe I’m delusional, but shes seen my worst side and I’ve seen hers & despite that, we still show each other love. Dysfunctional parents showing fake love & growing up in a messy household has played a role too i believe, but thats no excuse right? I have an ok job, however , i enrolled back into school to try and really chase my dreams of pursuing a career in the medical field. I’m still finding my purpose… is that what i lack? I overthink too as well, but with her, I’m so sure on her. But i also get that if im unsure on myself… how can she be sure on me ya know? Love isnt enough. I guess what im asking is , even when committing and loving, what steps have yall taken to absolutely assure your partner that you are worth the investment? Am I delusional? Life is really great even without her… but she makes it so much more. I’ve accepted that theres a possibility we might not get a chance… but what if there is ? submitted by /u/TrickyMold48
