You're right - the old M25 would have avoided it and just hoped things kept moving in a positive direction.
During our conversation on Wednesday, he said to me this is not the right way to say this but you're my best option. He also said something about not knowing what could happen a year or five years from now. I think he was trying to protect himself a bit.
That's why I really need to hear where his head is tonight. I will NOT be someone he just settles for or that he's resigned himself to the fact that it's in his best interest to stay with me right now. I'm only interested in staying with him if he sincerely wants to work on our marriage, fall back in love, and have a great life together. I deserve nothing less!
