Day 7 of no contact at all. I've read recently where I should stay the same distance from her that she is to me (evidently, this keeps the pressure off).

I'm learning that failure of compassion is the primary cause of anger, resentment, contempt, disgust, and abuse in relationships. I'm learning that compassion is the most important emotion for forging intimate relationships.

I wish that I knew this stuff in years past!

Things don't look good, and they don't feel good either!

Any continued help, advice, and/or support would be appreciated. Thanks.
