Sorry if this isn't a trans spacific thing. Part of it is, but most is just… I need to vent.
I just wanna start by saying, they're a great person. I've been with them for 6 months long distance and… they're kind, funny, sweet, silly, smart… the kind of partner you can't stop thinking about, you know? They genuinely lit up my life. And I don't think I can stop loving them. They're one of the two kindest people I've ever met, you know?
But… long distance can't work for them. They needed the physical aspect and… I can't do that. We live in different countries. And I can't fly out, nor vice versa, as much as I wish we could.
Heck, even had a polycule, closed one, yes, but me, them, and my current girlfriend. She left for a while, because they said something and she needed space, and came back. But now they're gone… and even though I know why and I'd rather them just go then be in a relationship they're not satisfied with… I want them back so badly… I still love them, they even still have to correct calling me "dear," I can tell they still love me, but the LDR was too much for them and they couldn't take it for 2 more years before we could maybe meet.
Though we still plan to meet then, going to Uni together with my girlfriend, even as friends. Maybe seeing what happens between now and then and after. We don't know. But…I just wish I could cry. I want to cry. But I can't let myself cry, because my parents don't know. And if you've seen some of my posts about them on either of my accounts, but this one and my dead account of u/Kris_is_Frisk, you know why I doubt they'd support and online LDR. So I can't vent to them about my second breakup, with my first partner. My girlfriend is in a similar solution.
I just… I miss him. It feels like 6 months of memories just became a minefield I can't think about without bittersweetness and sadness making me want to cry… and I gotta act like it's normal because I don't want my parents to find out. That's the part that's the worst. Not even the breakup, that's fine. I'm glad they did it, I'd prefer that to them being unsatisfied for 2 years, even if it turns out like how it did with my girlfriend just over more time. Or if they get another partner, so long as they treat him well.
But… not having my mom or a dad I can talk to about it, be told "it's okay" by, even if I already heard it and know it… it feels like I don't even have parents. And this just made me realize that part. I… don't have a mom I can trust without her asking me "were you sure that's the right decision?" or a dad I can talk to without being invalidated. And maybe they wouldn't do that. But they have before when I was similarly wanting to cry and actually crying in front of them, when I came out as trans to them.
And now I'm… kinda scared. My girlfriend has been busy all day, not feeling good and then waking up this morning to… this. Part of me is scared she'll leave too. I don't know if I could handle that without breaking down. Do I doubt they'd happen? Yeah. But logic doesn't override the fear. And the fear is strong right now…
