I can't say I feel much better today, but at least I got a little further. Tomorrow maybe I'll get further still. And I got a letter written today that I've been meaning to write for months, which in a way, was the best part of my day.
Did I mention that B. and his dad finalized their plans for India? Tickets are bought and everything. I guess now I can really start thinking how I can make the most of my month without him. Last night I got an invitation for Thanksgiving, since he'll be gone for that, at a friend's house whose parent live here in Berlin too. It's nice to know I have somewhere to go, even though I think that B. and I might celebrate again once he gets back.
I'm worried about him though, and his exam. He took a big hit last week, and he's really having a hard time moving past it, and I'm totally clueless as to the best way to support him. I know he appreciates my efforts even when he probably doesn't find them too helpful or inspiring. But I do wish I could do or say something that could help push him through this last phase. Maybe this is how he feels every time he tries to help me with my career issues? Is this a taste of my own medicine?
But I know these are the type if struggles that are making us stronger as a couple, precisely because we might not be sure how to best support the other, but we support each other nonetheless.
