I like your writing style, author. But I'm finding the story mentally exhausting. Life #1: she is doing everything she can to make relationship work, while he is pushing her away because he wants to protect her. Life #2: he is trying to make it work while she is pushing him away because she wants to protect herself. But it all boils down to: two people love each other, but they are suffering because of lack of communication and a lot of misunderstandings. I wish that you give them a break and that by end they open up and be honest. Until that happens, every new chapter gives me hope that they will make progress, and only leaves me depressed to find out that there is either no progress or they regressed.
