Are regrets when you end a separation normal?

I follow what you said, TP. She wasn't social anywhere, and she really did expect all of her ENs for communication & recreation would be met by me. People have invited her over and more to build a friendship, but she refuses. (self-esteem & cultural fear?)

I admit, I did this to my hubby. Expected him to meet too much of my ENs. I had few friends at one point and wanted him to fill the void. It was wrong, and unhealthly.

Do you think she has social phobia? An anxiety disorder, perhaps?
