Hope, I'm not suggesting that you sit and wait on him. What I did say is that you and your h may have some type of relationship when this is all over with. It could be just friends or something more. You are the only one that can determine that when the time comes. No one knows if you'll still be where you are today, you may have moved on and met someone else or opted to go it alone for a while. None of us knows what the future holds at this time.
Yes, you've been grieving for a long period of time and it's very hard to look back at what you once had and where you are today. A lot of damage was done and I'm sorry to see you in this place.
All I ask is that you be kind to yourself and give yourself time to heal. It's been a very long, hurtful journey for you, as well as for everyone that's posting on this forum. I do hope that puppy and kitty are getting along and can bring you a moment or two of pleasure.
Hope, I sincerely do hope that everything turns out okay for you.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
