I do think the card will go over well.

She seems very interested in your counseling sessions. Maybe you could invite her along to one of them? Not to 'work' on her issues of self esteem, etc or to 'work' on the relationship - but to satisfy her curiosity of whats going on with you.

Of course, the 'hidden' aspect could be that she starts to participate in future sessions. But back to square one; innocently ask if she would like to tag along next time just to see how it works for you.


As far as what other people may be saying, thats the exact reason I have not confided in any of my friends about this entire saga of mine.

Friends have a tendency to want to make you feel 'better'. They hate to see you down and want to contribute to cheering you up. But they dont always tell you what you need to hear, rather, they try to tell you what they think you want to hear.

So if I wanted a lot of 'if she cant see what a great guy you are, screw the bitch!' I would have shared with my buddies. But thats not what I either wanted or needed to hear, so I avoided telling them anything about it.

Fact of the matter is, I needed a lot of improvements in my personality and my outlook in general. My friends would never tell me that
