Gina.... STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have any idea how excited everyone on this board would be to be in your shoes? Ok, you do, I know that and you know that. You are grateful to be here.....WITH HIM. Back off. If you wish it, it will happen. So wish good things. Stop the counselor and really concentrate on each other. There's advice on this board on how to piece it back together and keep the positive momentum going. He's said he's committed. He wants a new R with you. So let that happen. You're dating again. He chose you. Remember that. When he backs up, let him. Make a list of crap you need to do and when he gets like this, go do it. Knit something. Scrapbook. Read that book you got a the library. Go bowling. Meet the girls out....whatever. YES you do still need to concentrate on you. If he goes to bed alone, check on him if you want just to make sure he understands, you aren't mad or making a statement, but you are going to give him space and sleep in your own bed. Space is still good. Space was good before and space will be good always. We all need it. There's a Dave Matthews song....it's called the Space Between.
You cannot quit me so quickly There's no hope in you for me No corner you could squeeze me But I've got all the time for you, love
The space between, the tears we cry Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more The space between, the wicked lies we tell And hope to keep us safe from the pain
Will I hold you again? These fickle, fuddled words confuse me Like will it rain today? We waste the hours with talking, talking These twisted games were playing
Were strange allies With warring hearts What a wild-eyed beast you be The space between, the wicked lies we tell And hope to keep us safe from the pain
Will I hold you again? Will I hold you...
Look at us spinning out in the madness of a rollercoaster You know you went off like the devil in a church In the middle of a crowded room All we can do, my love Is hope we dont take this ship down
The space between, where you smile and hide Where youll find me if I get to go The space between, the bullets in our fire fight Is where Ill be hiding, waiting for you The rain that falls splashed in your heart Ran like sadness down the window into your room The space between, our wicked lies Is where we hope to keep safe from pain
Take my hand cause were walking out of here Oh, right out of here Love is all we need dear The space between, whats wrong and right Is where youll find me hiding, waiting for you The space between, your heart and mine Is a space well fill with time The space between...
I love this song. Right now, that's where I live. The Space Between. You can live there with me on occasion if you need to....rent free.
