A stiff upper lip is what I believe the term for this is called. Show one.
For me, that’s a lot easier said than done. I know he’s going through a very hard time and I don’t want to cause more pain. In the past I’ve tried saying hey let’s take some space and he either completely ignores that or he’s like “no I’m okay now we don’t need to do that” Then I give in because my heart wants him, my head is like what are you doing. I understand I’m an adult but it is hard for me to just be like I need space and not feel bad. Do you have any advice on how I could show a “stiff upper lip”? I’m all ears! Thanks for the reply!
