But there is no way of rushing this process , W has to see the changes I have made and also have faith that they are permanent.
These words rang very true to me right now. It really comes down to us doing these things, making these changes that we know we need to make for our own lives to be more fulfilling down the road. If our WAS (either literally or, as in my sitch still, figuratively) ultimately make a choice to trust in us and start walking back toward us, then so much the better!!
But I think that for people like you and me...who have such long histories with our WAS, it is likely a very long, very slow journey. So many years of building up hurts (both real and imagined) that even if our WAS have times where they think they may want to start walking back, it really can seem like an overwhelming task.
I guess that's where time and patience continue to be our friends...although I must admit, some days i don't know if what i'm practicing is patience or insanity
I hope you have a great weekend...we have a long Labor Day weekend coming up, so should be a good relaxing time.
