Just wanted to let you know that in reading through your thread, I identify with so many of the thoughts and feelings you have been having. The struggle re: platonic relationship land...is this "okay" or crap or some of both. The sense of heart sinking when you connect so well and then--bam--suddenly you "remember" that they aren't "in love" with you anymore. The sense of feeling crazy--if we can still connect so well, then why are we apart like this?? I felt like I was reading my own words in some of your posts.
This is such a painful time, and it feels so desperately lonely inside. I also related to the part of feeling so strongly to want to engage sexually...for me it's not even about the sex per se, but a means to really be intimate and as close as possible physically and emotionally to my W.
Well, I don't have much wisdom to offer you...you have some great supporters with solid DB advice here. I know sometimes it has been validating to read other people's experiences and just know that, although your sitch is unique, your deepest hurts and fears are understood by many people here.
I'm about 3 months in to this rollercoaster of the heart and mind; hour by hour and day by day is the only way to do it for me. GAL is important and hard to do.
