Need Advice :snoo_thoughtful:
Hey everyone. First time poster. I’ll cut to the chase. I’m a straight cis male in his early thirties, my partner is a cis lesbian at the same age. We’ve been dating for 11 years 11 months, and she recently came out to me and we agreed to end our relationship. We were both devastated, but we both want what’s best for eachother and agreed this was best for both of us. I let her know that no blame attached and that I’d always support her.
My question for those of you who have been in this situation before from the other side is what support would you have liked from your former partners, if any? Is there anything I can do proactively, beyond just letting her know that I still support her, or should I wait to be asked? Is there any reading you’d recommend?
Thanks for reading
