should I leave him? I am freaking out!

A bit of an intense question for strangers!

It's a good question to ask yourself though.

I mean, how do we know when or why to leave a relationship? It is so personal!

I have to try and think rationally about it - the simplest questions for myself being: am I loved and appreciated and respected and am I loving, appreciative, and respectful of my partner? Am I able to grow as a person within this relationship and is my partner growing as a person? Are we worthy of the children's imitation?

I don't think I could decide that based on the vacuum incident - an ugly incident all around!

Peace,
B
