I dumped my partner (not completely back together yet, we'll see) a few times. I am now beginning to turn to her to tell her my frustrations. I used to just bottle them up and then every few months I'd reach breaking point and tell her I couldn't do it anymore. My frustrations could perhaps be fundamental...we have a bit of an intellectual disconnect which is important to me. But there are many things she is and does which makes me happy and proud. We do have a good rapport, but a lot of the time I have the feeling there is something missing. It might not work out, but I'm now not fearful of being honest with her, and I hope she is with me. She understands and we talk about it. We never did NC, we said we would but never fully committed. I don't know if it was a good thing or not. I know that I have never been as honest with her as I am now and obviously this wouldn't have changed if we weren't even talking. BTW, this documentary is filled with reconciliation stories, in fact all the couples broke up at least once... link removed The difference between their relationships and mine however was perhaps an initial attraction or love that I don't think I really felt. I think I have loved her more over time.
