I think you're right, folks, although other people on the board have said otherwise. I realize that it's risky to be the WAW, and it could mean that the relationship ends, but I think it might also be the only way it can go forward in a really positive way. My therapist said today that I seem very hesitant to let him back in my life, and that I should listen to my intuition. I feel like he needs to show me something first before I can start trusting. I want the real deal, or I don't want it. And I want him for to want ME, not a bandaid for his guilt, and the only way to be more sure of that is by giving him some time. In the meanwhile, I get to become stronger and have a better understanding of boundaries. Thanks.
