Not sure how to start?

Is it normal that I love my partner but still fantasize about leaving?Why do I feel relieved when plans get canceled, even with people I love?

How it works

A simple private first step.

You do not need to tell your whole story at once. Start with the part that is weighing on you, then keep the answer in one place.

  1. 01

    Write what is on your mind.

    Start with one specific situation. Unfinished wording is welcome.

  2. 02

    Create your private account.

    Your question stays attached to your private history while your answer is prepared.

  3. 03

    Return when you need to.

    Your saved question, answer, and follow-ups remain together in your private history.

Wanting space is not the same as wanting out. Closeness and independence can pull on each other at the same time.

Family

Tone promise

The experience stays plainspoken and steady. No mockery, no panic, and no pressure to explain your whole life before you get a useful answer.
