so I need to take him out of the equation. I need to GAL and be ME again for myself. but its still so hard to let him go. its pathetic, but its hard. I'm a cockeyed optimist in a lot of ways, I want to believe in people, especially him, and its killing me to admit that I am wrong.
Morgan,
You understand exactly where you need to go and what you need to do. Your still fairly new to this situation you find yourself in, so I know it's easier said than done at the point. I want you to understand though that it is possible to get to a place where your emotions will be more subdued and you will be able to take "him out of the equation" without trying or thinking about it. It just takes time to get there.
Keep telling yourself what your telling us and eventually you will get to that point your describing. Fake it till you make it!
Hang in there!
