I promise you'll be in my wedding party at least if it happens here!
Ooo la la, a twofer. But threesomes seem like the kind of thing that should be definitely talked out.

Well if you were crying while talking about it, that's not really the best indication of whether it's good for you.

I'm your friend because all of that is true. But I know it's impossible to believe other people when you don't feel that way yourself. I get in these moods where I feel like I'm scum and no one should ever care about me. And there's not really a way someone else can convince me, in that moment, that it's untrue. It's hard to ignore intrusive thoughts, but we should.
See, now that I said that, you'll know my first thought is 'I'm definitely the one who is going to screw it up.' The Doctor isn't used to relationships, this is all very weird and new to him. But UGH I really like him. It's so embarrassing how much I like him.
