It sounds like you have a pretty great relationship. <3 And no, as I'm sure you know, it don't sound co-dependent at all. That's another one of those words, I think, the ones we've determined to be bad, full stop, but as you say, it doesn't have to be. Go figure we're moving through an era that discourages personal relationships with ideology like "why buy the cow..." (weirdly enough, instead of dying as it should have, it seems to be spreading to women, as well).
From all you've written about him, Jamie sounds like a wonderful person. <3
Ah, he has his flaws haha.. but then so do I. I'm not sure anyone else would put up with us!
I kinda thought of you as I wrote this. Co dependency is one of those must avoid things like toxicity, right?
