I know that in my mind, but my heart has other ideas! I don't have to tell you how hard it is, but beeing close to her and not being able to be close to her is killing me.
I understand...but you should take that as a positive. I don't get to be near my WAW. I get to talk with her little. Build from where you are. Don't focus on what you want. Give her what she needs. Show her your 180's. I understand your big problem paragraph. But you can still show your 180's... I didn't like the old me either. Give time for yourself and her while being consistent and patient. You can do it.
