Good to hear



I wanted to post a reply, I have been a bit caught up in my life.
Thank you for all of your replies. I ended up showing him my post later the same night I made it, and we talked extensively about what happened. I forgive him, which I really had already done - the pain was still there but I know how trips can be, especially under stress, and I knew he wasn't really being himself.
Since then everything has been... excellent. My trust in him has been restored, and I took the chance of tripping with him again, which solidified this. We were close and comfortable together during the whole trip and he made me feel renewed and normal again. In sober moments he made sure to stop me when he saw me digging myself into a hole of self-mistreatment (something I am sometimes prone to) and has made me appreciate myself as a person a lot more. I knew I had to talk to him further about it initially, but talking here first gave me the courage to do that. I'm happy to say that we are back to the way we were before and on a personal basis I am happier with myself than I have ever been. I also took what he said as an indication that at least a few of my own self-noticed flaws are a little too noticeable, and began enacting change. I've been bettering myself but without the usually included side of self abuse, and I can already see myself being happier because of it.
Thank you all so much. I really appreciate that you seemed to care about my situation and it helped immensely to have somewhere to vent my feelings.
