K - I really dont know where to start. Im starting to think you two do deserve eachother. I dont believe she really respects you. I think she thinks of you more as a sad, helpless puppy. Like most people it makes you feel good to take care of a lost puppy. Do you like being her puppy? No offense PDT Women dont USUALLY fall for men they have to take care of, BUT maybe that's your guys thing. Maybe that's what worked for you guys.
All I have to say to that type of R is good luck. I personally DONT think a R/M can survive w/o RESPECT.
And by the way, you said you weren't looking to say those things to get your WAW back, but yet you just mentioned your last convo as being a SET BACK. Seems to me that if you were DETACHED and FOCUSING on you you wouldnt consider any of it a set back. Hmmmmm Still I wonder what is K's motivation. Because I think it has been made perfectly clear by a number of very caring ppl on this board that MANIPULATION WONT work.
