I (20M) got back together with my ex (18F), how do I maintain our relationship?
My ex and I originally got together a year ago. Thinks were ok but we were both incredibly religious and the relationship was built on the wrong foundations. Eventually her parents found out and were strongly against it, and she decided she had to end it due to her mental health (going through depression & anxiety, and pressure from her parents). On top of that, I was a mess, I was incredibly insecure, and that put additional pressure on her.
Anyways, about a month and a half ago after a phase of chatting, we decided to give it ago, we completely stripped away what happened and rebuilt our foundations on love, trust, & a mature relationship, and I cant explain how difficult it is, we both put in so much effort, some days me more than her, and vice versa, while we still have lots of work to do, we both matured a good amount over the past year.
The advice im looking for is more, how do I maintain my side of the relationship? I've worked on my side of insecurity a lot and we have great communication, but I want to do my part to make sure this relationship can flourish and remain healthy.
