Hey Rob..

Share the wealth. Many of those attributes create great friendships and improve who you are. Think about putting the nozzle setting to 'spray' rather than 'jet'.

She's still struggling with her emotions. Avoid getting caught in an emotional triangle. Your communication should be a straight line.

For example, a man and I developed an incredibly supportive relationship during the divorce process. We approached the friendship as a grand experiment to face the fears head on that we each felt lead to the end of our respective marriages. It was great. I had no fear because it was all about facing fears.

In the end I started reacting to him the way I would to ex.. because ex was still in my head. Transference perhaps? Projection?

It's great that you're at Stage 1, Stage 2. You know how to treat a woman. You're confident in yourself. There's an energy sizzling positively around you.

Just be you. Apply what you've learned and see how it feels. Although your focus is on your girlfriend's wellbeing.. it's all about you. Be the man you want to be. Walk the walk. You have it all. Know the joy within.

*hugs*
