That's what she said, but pay attention to the "not right now" part. She didn't say anything about 'forever'...she said "not right now". Man, don't give up hope...and try not to despair. This thing ain't over. You're gonna have to be more patient. It took years for things to get to this point, and it's gonna take awhile for things to settle down. It's gonna take a lot longer than you want it to. Honor her and cherish her and respect her by giving her the space and time that she asks for. Have a different attitude about it...do these hard things because you love her...let that be your motivation. I know it's hard. Believe me...I know.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
