One of the things that I realized in going back to therapy again was I allowed myself to get lost and put on hold while I was trying to deal w/the "issues" G was going through.
When she pulled away, it allowed me - better yet, FORCED me - to re-examine myself and what I was doing. In the end, I'm doing "my" things for me and still having contact w/G.
Regardless of what goes on w/G and I, I'm understanding again that if I lose my sense of "me" and stop doing "my" things, I suffer.
So, naej is correct to say to you to make sure you are still doing your "Ali" things and not just focusing on BF.
Don't allow yourself to get "lost" again after you did so well in finding your true you over the past few years.
