“It’s so quiet in the flat; you would hate it. I do, but I can’t bring myself to leave. I started wishing you would come back to haunt me. A poltergeist that played violin at four in the morning or slammed doors and knocked over dishes. It would’ve felt like you never left. But instead I’ve become the ghost in 221B. Dead man walking, as if we had never met. Life before and after Sherlock Holmes.” – letter from JW to SH by amazing bakerstreetletters.tumblr.com

What if I run out of goodwill halfway through the day and embarrass you by saying horrid things?

My Darling John~

Today marks exactly four weeks until the wedding and I don’t feel the least bit prepared. Not to be married to you — that I feel as though I’ve been working toward for a very long time, and though I can’t imagine much between us will change upon exchanging vows and rings, I very much look forward to officially entering into a lifelong partnership with you.

No, what I’m not ready for is the wedding itself.

Relationships are supposed to be give-and-take.

Things I want/need in this relationship:

First and most obviously, I need to feel loved and accepted by you. This is something you do an admirable job of. However, this love and acceptance does not need to be unconditional. In fact, I would prefer it to be conditional. If I were to start treating you poorly (which is not something I intend, but I’m not the best when it comes to neglect) or if I were to do something unforgivable, I would expect you to put conditions on your presence in my life. I need you to keep me within the bounds of decency because otherwise I fear I will hurt you inadvertently. And even if I might not mean it, that is not something I will abide — and neither should you.

It wasn’t an easy few days, as you might imagine.

My dearest John~

These past few days have been an exercise in restraint, and yes, of looking inward. I apologise if you felt I was distancing myself from you because of something you had done, but I will not apologise for needing the time separated from you mentally — and somewhat physically.

It was necessary to come to terms with certain things regarding our relationship which were difficult to unearth but important to be aware of.

That’s an evening I know you’d be sad to miss.

Absolutely not, John.

If we are to do this, then both of us will be involved in it. You can have a night out with Harry at another time. If Greg wants to drink with us, I see no reason to avoid it. If he wants Mike and/or Molly to join in, I will not say no.
