How much growth do you think he feels with you? I'm not sure. We we haven't spoken about future or goals or anything together. Yeah. Yeah. As we are in relationship and in love, there's different stages and they have different qualities and different challenges. The fact that you've reached out and you felt rejected, then after a while you don't really wanna reach out. And so what happens is both parties think the other person really doesn't care as much. Needs are not just desires. These are deeper than desires. People will give up their own values to meet their needs. Okay. Looks like we have Laura here. Laura from Miami, not far from here. Give it up for Laura. Tone, her question is, how do I navigate this crossroads in my relationship and decide whether to stay or leave while finding clarity on my purpose and next steps for creating a fulfilling and independent life.
