@redacted.feelings: It’s such a small sentence, but it says so much. You weren’t asking them to spend the entire night on their phone. You weren’t expecting constant updates or trying to stop them from enjoying themselves. You literally gave them space: “Have fun and be safe.” And instead of interpreting that as, “Great, I don’t have to think about you for the next six hours,” their instinct was basically, “Why would having fun mean I stop talking to you?” 😭 That’s the kind of energy I want. Someone who has their own friends, their own plans, their own life, and still naturally includes me in it. Not because I demanded updates. Not because they’re scared I’ll get upset. Not because being in a relationship means reporting every movement. They just genuinely want to talk to me. They’re out having a great time and still think, “Wait, I need to tell them what just happened.” They send the random picture, the little update, the “we just got here,” or the completely unnecessary text because somehow I’m still the person they want to share their night with even when I’m not physically there. Obviously, nobody needs to text their partner constantly while they’re out, and healthy relationships should have plenty of independence. But there’s something special about never having to beg someone for communication because staying connected to you isn’t a chore on their checklist. It’s something they enjoy. I don’t want someone whose life stops when I’m not around. I want someone with a full life who keeps finding tiny ways to bring me into it. Someone who hears “have fun” and thinks, “Of course I will… but who said I can’t talk to my favorite person while I’m doing it?”
