But, you CAN force her to see what it feels like to lose you.
Will you? Will you back off, never tell her again that you love her, that the door is open, that you are 'there for her'?
Because that's what 'losing you' means.
Yes, she does love you. What she doesn't understand yet is how much she will LOSE when she let's YOU go.
And she won't understand that until YOU let HER go.
Will you?
Absolutely, yes I will, Frank. And it isn't because I want to "teach her a lesson" or "stick it to her"...it's because that is what I need to do for me, to be able to life my life in a healthy, non-dependent way.
I will answer her phone calls and emails, but will not initiate any.
I will casually date other women.
I will vacation alone, or join friends on theirs.
I will stay in touch with my in-laws.
I will not bad-mouth her to anyone, especially our (grown) children.
