Mindblank #2 - "Stuck as friends..."

[AJM]

I think the reality is somewhere in the middle, myself.

This was pressure:

But, I think I deserve to know if you're willing to work on us as a couple, or if you're just staying home for the kids.

Stay away from that if you can. That's R talk. The intimacy part after that is just letting him know how you feel, not asking him to do commit to something. But don't make that a habit because it is a fine line. At least not yet.

You let him know how you felt. Sure it was pressure, but did you notice how the two of you were able to have that conversation? Without blowing up at each other? That's progress. Is it needy? Yes of course. Don't pursue it. You asked. He answered. You let it go at that.

So let it go. Completely. Accept what you see.

He knows how you feel. Let that cook in the stew for a while. Don't beat yourself up about it any longer. You're human too and you were drinking.

That would be how I read this.
