You didn't answer my question (and "you're welcome," btw).
Why do you suppose I haven't responded to you? Me, a guy who's verbose, snarky, a bit of a know-it-all, who LOVES to respond to posts???
Why?? Do you think I didn't WANT to? Do you think maybe it was HARD for me?
Puppy
well you told me 48 hours of NC and i didn't do it? Disappointed and frustration?
Stubbron and defensive?
Too many threads? Stubborness? Is this supposed to help me understand why WAW isn't purseuing either?
It was to demonstrate to you, in action, the concept of laying out a "Boundary of Personal Integrity," and sticking to it. To use your HEAD (logic, rational thought) to create it, and not let your HEART (emotions, fears) drive your daily behavior.
You just DO it.
Now -- (((poof!))) -- I'm dark. 48 hours, dude -- no contact with your wife. I'll be back, cuz I know you can do it. And don't ask me all the "WHYs" associated with it, because they've all been answered by everyone else -- handfuls of times -- in your upthreads.
