  • I would think you’re new partner would be able to tell what your feels are towards your former partner. In most relationships there’s “the one that got away”, you should be able to have a conversation with your new partner about past relationships and find out what their feels are about past relationships. Then that will give you direction to either continue the conversation or leave the topic alone. The issue here is, you and what sounds like your first love are still in a non-romantic relationship that sounds like you are hoping to rekindle. This sounds toxic and you need to make a decision about what’s more important and is there really going to be an opportunity for rekindling the romantic relationship or if you’re just torturing yourself.






  • Workaholic maybe? The name makes it seem like it’s an addiction to work but in reality it’s stress and anxiety forcing people to spend more time at work to either satisfy a deadline or impress the boss or to run away from home problems. The stress and anxiety will ultimately lead to early death or at least poor health.

    Workaholic also focuses more on the person rather than like in Japanese culture of working yourself to literal death out of a sense of duty.

    In the end the result is very similar.
