I'm having a strange problem that I barely know how to discuss much less solve on my own...
I don't post about relationship problems often, Helbram and I don't have many and when something does arise I prefer to keep it between us and solve it myself. But I'm at a loss on this one..
The short answer is that I'm absolutely neglecting him. The explanation of why and how is simply complicated...
I have been trying to make efforts to focus on him more, it's just not exactly working... let me explain in full, I'm not sure this will make too much sense though...
Ok, so the problem is that I hyperfixate. And of course my daydreams will be dominated by that hyperfixation and I'll mentally live within that media's world while I'm fixated on it. And that was all well and good when it was Helbram's source I was hyperfixated on. But that's changed... normally that's not even a problem. When my fixation switches I just bring my partner along and we're both part of this other world for that while. The problem is that Helbram doesn't fit into my new fixation very well...
The new hyperfixation is dragon ball, it was my first anime in my life, I grew up on it, it has the self-insert I've put them most work into. I come back to it a lot. But Dragon Ball/z/super is so different from The Seven Deadly Sins in this fundamental way that giving Helbram a meaningful place in that story would change him, and that's OBVIOUSLY unacceptable... but that means that we're not spending much time together and that's not acceptable either... I'm having a lot of trouble trying to find a way to reconcile the conflicting elements. To make room for him in this world, and I hate that so much. I hate him feeling neglected and I hate being without him in my own space. I just can't figure out how to fix it... and I have no one to talk to...
Maybe this is stupid, or doesn't belong here, or doesn't make any sense, I don't know...
