I took the time to do my mind dump and dissect our 12 years together. I went into deep introspection of how and who I was: - before we met - the good times - the bad times - during the marriage and now And from there, who I will be in the future.
From there I reflected further on myself. I asked myself the following questions and let them stew...
- What do I really want? - Was I really happy during my M or was I compromising all the time? - Where did I lose my perception of self? - How did I lose sight of who I am to become who I'm not?
From there I came up with a list of my wants in a partner. This is a partial list:
- A woman who WANTS to be with me - Who supports my dreams and will give me the freedom to pursue them. - Who does not mock my efforts or ridicule them - Who realizes what she's got and doesn't compare me to others - Who confides in me and values my opinion - Who understands how much I value privacy - Who doesn't measure success with material possessions
Gno, your questions above are great. It seems you are on the right path to getting yourself back and I hope your vacation was relaxing for you. Time, as cliche as it is, truly is the greatest healer of all. I wish you so much peace and happiness.
