As usual, you sound really, really good Dana! Things seem to be in pretty good order for you.

Boy do I hear that loud and clear!

In a way, me spending time with him may help me be pushed away from him while maybe bringing him closer, so maybe we'll be on a more level playing field regarding our feelings.

Not sure if anything that pushes either of you away is a good thing. And if he persists on seeing you...you may want to explain that to him. Tell him that you just don't see any changes from him and that you are afraid that seeing him may only push you further away right now.

Stay strong hun and here is to an awesome summer!
