Lucille Leta2 months agoI (M25) have been dating a woman (F25) for four months. Overall, things are going well. We have good chemistry, I care about her well-being, and enjoy spending time together. However, I’m unsure if I love her yet. There’s nothing seriously wrong with the relationship, but I don’t feel like we’re “partners” in the way I’d expect. There’s no deep connection, and I don’t feel like I can turn to her in times of stress or difficulty. She doesn’t seem to react well to stress, and she’s not very responsive when I share my issues, such as when I experienced a loss in the family. While I care about her and like spending time together, I wonder if we would be good life partners. I don’t feel that sense of deep connection or trust. I’m uncertain if these feelings will develop, but part of me thinks I should know by now if this is the right relationship. I don’t want to hurt her, but I’m not sure if staying together will bring either of us the fulfillment we both deserve. I’m torn between trying to get closer and seeing if the connection deepens, or ending things before it goes any further. I want to communicate this honestly, but I’m not sure how to express that I don’t feel connected in the way I’d like. Is it something that can be worked on, or should I consider moving on?135
