I grew up being so independent.
I'm not going to say I didn't grow up privileged, but my parents were very much so like, you figure it out.
We're here if you need us, but you figure it out.
Whereas
My ex did not grow up that way.
It was very like dependent.
And as I learned through that, because we were in therapy before it all ended, it was like we think through things through a different way.
So for me, I wasn't cheerleading, encouraging.
And I think, not I think, I know he really needed that.
And by the time I kind of realized that we were already on the end of it, I'm more, I'm your cheerleader of like, okay.
How do we figure this out?
What's the issue?
What's the problem?
That's me helping you.
But that's not what he needed.
He really needed the encouragement.
Do I think it would help?
No.
But my fault in it is rather than paying attention to what he needed and encouraging in that way, I was doing it my way.
And so I think that that's like a really important thing to note.
