She found out something about me she does not like. It is after this that she asked me to move in, but... you know. It is a pretty big thing to dislike.
I made her cry some.
[Which says a lot he'd admit that to Steve. He hates that he did that.]
Even if that's true, I think you should trust her to know what she wants. [ Making anyone cry, for any reason, is always a tough thing to swallow. ] How long have you been together?
Yes well, the problem is, she found out something about me she really does not want in her life.
[So he feels like he's going through a trial run, now. More than he did before. More than when he was trying to hand out slivers of imagined future like it would get them somewhere.]
About a year of being together now. Before that I knew her a few months.
That's a long time. [ At least, by the standards he's come to learn being in the twenty-first century. He remembers the thought of knowing a girl for a year before even thinking about courting her was more normal than that. ] But she obviously cares enough to want to try.
[ He pauses. ] What's the something she found out?

Well she just figured out how much I do not like myself. And that it was not just our last ship that did it to me.
I guess I am still trying. I think she wants it to work.
You ever been with someone for very long?
no subject
There was someone. [ Steve frowns. ] But I didn't get the chance to tell her how I felt before we got separated.
no subject
Just separated? She is... alright, at least?
[Not dead, like Kate ended up?]
