Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the base knowledge for most of this "don't be needy/touchy/grabby" advice come from a SSM standpoint?
I agree with you -- this is not a way to get me laid.
What I DON'T agree with, is that this isn't the best way to go, in my situation, which -- as you've all rightly pointed out -- isn't really a "SSM" situation anyway.
I'm really done debating. I chose to continue posting here over the past few years because, even though my situation wasn't truly "SSM" anymore, I liked this group, and the diversity of it, and how smart everyone was here. It's not the typical message board.
And I appreciate everyone's obviously sincere efforts to help, I really do.
But I gotta be me, and I gotta fight for this thing my own way. I wasn't seeking approval -- posting my sitch is therapeutic for me, and frankly the sheer amount of WORK that lies ahead of me will require as much (and I pray not more) as I can handle. I have neither the energy for, nor do I care to engage in, debates.
I'm going to take a break for awhile, and focus on me and my family. I may be back in a few days, or a few weeks, or I may not be back. If you're so inclined, please pray for my family, that I will have the strength to do what I need to do for them.
