My lack of comprehension

The other day, my boyfriend and I were just sitting on my couch talking. He said something to me and I was very confused, so I told him that I didn’t understand. He said that he was sorry and that he sometimes doesn’t explain himself enough. Then he explained what he just said and I understood it. He also said that he would get better at explaining things to me.

I became very quiet and I cried. It wasn’t his fault, but what had just happened had made me feel frustrated, sad, angry and STUPID!! I hate that sometimes I feel like a child who needs things explained to them so simple. I hate the way this makes me FEEL!! I also worry that he will just get tired of this and think that I’m too much WORK and he will walk away!

A short time later, he asked me what happened. He wanted to know if I was foggy and why I was crying. I explained to him what had happened and how I felt. He was very understanding and he asked me to please always tell him if I don’t understand something. I said that I would try to do that. He said that it would be okay and that he will continue to be here to support and love me. He said that I think too much and that he will always love me.
