But he’ll feel rushed

If you’re dating someone who is in therapy and trying to heal while you’re dating, you’ll want to put a timeline on this. You won’t want to be with someone who is under maintenance forever. You see how his pain affects his ability to be a good partner and you want that fixed ASAP. Even if you say, “Take all the time you need…” you will, in your subtle ways, be rushing him. And he’ll feel it. And true healing can’t happen under those constraints.
