Clean-up. As if it's ever so easy as just saying we're moving on from the horrible idea that derives entirely from how much he loves you, Laurie. How much we both do. If I thought for a moment it'd get you back home, I'd consider it too.
So yes, we do hold it on ourselves to some degree.
I know there's really no way to convince you to do otherwise. I just don't want the desperation to define us or to lead us somewhere bad, and I don't want you to hurt and blame yourselves if it's just not possible.
I love you, too. I love you both so much. I promise that that's enough.
I promise I am doing a bit better on the taking care of my mental health and not being too crazed over the pain.
I'm glad. I love you too. You're one of my best friends, and I want you to have the chance at your life. Your happiest life. Know I will find any way I can to support it.
I hope so. I really fucked up this time, Laurie. It can be hard, sometimes, to remember that Josh as I know him here lacks a lot of what made him the Josh I knew back home. The years. The aging. Back home he's actually one of the people I go to when I need comfort, and I trust him so much.
And I forget that he's damn capable on his own here too. Dude bought us a house. I owe him more than I did.
He has moments where his hurt gets the better of him, but he's not illogical or anything. He cares. He's not going to shut down completely. EVER, if I can help it, but... He's not there now, at very least.
I promised him space, Laurie. Including not reaching out to harass him. This one is on him to allow me back close. Really bad. I don't intend to make it worse.

Don't grumble at each other for too long, okay? I'll tell Josh, too.
