Naej, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My first words spoken to her were in person. The email was a follow-up.
I feel trapped and confused.
I have no concerns about finding another dance partner, so that's not the issue.
I told her in-person that I can't continue to live like this, and that we both deserve better. I told her that I want a whole relationship. She said that she wants the same.
Maybe that's a hook I can use to move us forward.
In a future post, maybe I'll post a brief history of the M.
Your words are helpful. They move me slowly to where I need to be, even though the pace may be excruciatingly slow for you and others.
It's essential that I have more presence in solving these problems.
