Lanzo, I wouldn't say I'm committed yet to move towards intimacy. I'm closer to a Preparation stage. It's not something I've experienced in a R with anyone for any extended period of time.
I do know I don't want a D. I don't see replacing my W as an option. I would be trading for another set of problems. I would deny myself the potential for growth. I would lose a dance partnership and a friend.
It seems like the only option is to move forward, and to take steps towards intimacy, and hope the M is in a better place to work towards this goal, so there is mutual satisfaction.
I guess it's time to experiment and monitor results.
It's odd that I need to be the leader in an area where my W is better skilled (or is she?). I'm guessing she has her own intimacy issues. This is an area we will have to grow together in.
