Hey
Thanks for your comments, I think it was overwhelmingly frightening because it was unexpected and I never want my partner to not be happy and the prospect of my recovery hurting him, even subconsciously in the short term, terrified me.
I really hope I am overthinking it and whatever happens I'm just going to have to see what unfolds and, like you say, intentionally reconnect. I've thanked him for what he has done many, many times, I think through fear he doesn't know how grateful I am. On the flip side I think I need to hold back on what I bring up about recovery with him as I can completely see how he could feel replaced or upset.
Thanks again for the comments and they're definitely being taken on board
