Hello Helen,
Thank you for the conversation that we had the other night. I found, though at times frustrating, that it was very good to bring some things to light. This is why I am writing to you.
Throughout our relationship we have been very good at being together. I love that element. However, I find that when we are apart, it stretches our relationship to a breaking point that we have experienced before. Being as how I am not wild of losing you to something trivial like a disagreement, I thought it would be wise for me to explain what I see as the relationship that I am looking for, however reasonable or not. Keep in mind, I am not writing this to ask you to fit into it, nor as an explanation of where I would like our relationship to go. If you would like to be a part of what I envision, I couldn’t be more thrilled for that.
I expect that you will be able to find inconsistencies in my writings. It’s not that I intend to contradict myself, but in a lot of situations I know that my opinions straddle whatever fence there might be. If at any point you have questions, please let me know, and I will do everything in my power to explain myself.
