Balancing 'retreating' with 'reacting to his pursuit' is a learning experience. I am determined to overcome the challenge of the behavioral change. It is a battle that I think I am winning.
I am so happy that this year 'A' did call to wish me a Merry Christmas. I loved hearing his message when I got out of work. It is very small, but I am so grateful for it.
When he does pursue, I love that feeling that I can relax and I can let him retreat. I hope that I show it in my behavior to him.
