I [25M] am unsure how navigate two conversations with my gf [24F].
My girlfriend and I have been dating for about 5 years. We live about 1.5 hours apart and see eachother about 1-2 times every 2 weeks. We don’t talk over the phone too much but we text every day. I have two important conversations I want to have with her regarding our near and distant future - nothing bad happened but these are important convos to have at this stage in our relationship. I want them to be in-person.
She works about 10-11 hours per day and then on top of that has to take care of her mother and sister emotionally and financially + other family issues so she already has a ton on her plate and she has expressed how stressed she is.
I feel that even bringing up one of these convos right now would add even more pressure to her life - let alone two conversations.
They are both important, especially to me but I don’t want to make her life even more difficult right now. They are also both very sensitive topics. The topic of conversations are consistently in my mind and are beginning to stress me out.
I’d like some perspective from a stranger, since I am in the thick of it and my mind spins.
Thank you in advance.
