No one (out of my friends) really understands that when I say I want this to end between my partner and the OP, that it isn't necessarily about wanting her to appear on my doorstep. I would find it easier to GAL if I knew that other person wasn't there as such a distraction so that my partner could do the work she needs to. There's just this other element there now that on the one hand shouldn't be my concern, but on the other hand, just absolutely consumes me. Any efforts I make to pretend this isn't happening fall so flat.
Good for you for kepping a positive space in your home. A port in the storm...
