Hey Lotus -

Kind of feel like I've been in a holding pattern here. I know, everyone tells me to be patient, and that's good advice.

W has told me clearly that she has not felt loved. My C said today, the only thing that's going to make her have a change of heart is to change this. The whole intmacy thing, opening up to her, address her love languanges.

I've been trying not to pursue, and I've done OK - C said today, not pursuing is about not putting pressure on her. But I tend to agree that I've got to so something to address this underlying issue. Last time I we went though this in 2003, that was what made the difference.

I know you guys are going to warn me on this, and i know I need to be very careful here. I do not want to be reckless. But I think it's time to "experiment and monitor results." I need to be careful to operate from a perspective of strength and confidence vs. being needy.

I know, I need to focus on myself, I haven't put aside anything here.
