The more this goes on, the less respect I have for him. The more I think about the way that he behaves, not the way he treats me, but the way he conducts himself and his character, the less admiration I have for him. Am I falling out of love? This was a man who had wonderful qualities. But now this man behaves in the most selfish manner and I think to myself, why am I trying so hard to lure him back? To what end? What will I get in return? Would I like him now if I had met him today for the first time? Probably not.
I have had all those same thoughts too!!! MLC is not very attractive!!! I do think it's amazing that we knock ourselves out to be the more attractive alternative, and I think most (maybe all) of our WAS are actually very unattractive themselves. I think as time goes on I've gotten more detached and all. Which is good. He has a harder time hurting me now, so maybe that is another reason detaching is good. Karen
