>>81823680paraphrased part 1
Since I'm going to be away and we won't be able to talk for a bit, I want to wrap up this topic before I leave because I really don't want to revisit it later. This message isn't about asking more questions or making you explain yourself again; it's just about how I felt after our conversation yesterday.
I know this is a sensitive subject for you, and I truly appreciate your willingness to discuss it with me. I understand your perspective, and I believe you acknowledge your mistakes and regret them. That means a lot to me.
However, despite all that, I felt a lack of emotional reassurance. I understand you wanted to help me grasp your thought process at the time, and you might not have considered this, but it would have been nice to feel a bit more emotionally acknowledged and reassured in a warm, caring manner because I know you are capable of that.
I've seen that side of you when you tell me I'm not a bother and that you want to hear what's on my mind; it always makes me feel safe and cared for, and that reassurance is significant to me. I just wish I had felt more of that same comfort from you, even when the topic is difficult and involves you. I'm not trying to hold anything against you, but it's clear that it hurt me a lot.
In the moments right after I was told everything, when it was still fresh and I felt the most hurt or unsure if I could trust you, providing you comfort was still important to me. I've told you I believe you're better than what happened (and I still believe this), reminded you that I see the good in you, and tried to ensure you didn't feel alone or overlooked. I just wish I had received more of that kind of comfort in return, even if you were upset too, because I genuinely want to support you in moving on from the past, but that requires me to receive the same kind of comfort back.
