So what about self improvement...what do you need to work on that will help you be a happier person?
One thing I wouldnt mind is having friends. Since I've been with my SO, she became my life (and then our daughter after she was born) which makes this situation even more unbearable. Unfortunately I'm a fairly shy person and I have trouble trusting people for fear I'm gonna get hurt.
Unfortunately as well, when something like this happens, and the person you trust/feel most comfortable in the world with leaves you, it doesnt do a whole lot in the way of helping you to trust others.
And setting a timeline to have her back by could be disheartening. Someone else also suggested setting a timeline of when, if things dont seem to be happening, I just move on without her. In theory, that sounds doable...but when the day comes and goes and if no progress has been made...I'm not sure I could follow through.
This isnt just about reuniting with my SO...its about having my family together again...for good.
I know that my SO is so doubtful that I can/have changed...and she is so doubtful that if she comes back things wont go back to the way they were. With the OM in the picture, she's also a little doubtful that she would want to be with me again even if I do change. I want to be able to show her that things will be different, but with her not living here, unless we can spend more time together and some of it be one on one time, I dont see how she will be able to see the changes.
