Can you see the Morning After

[Phoenix_In_Bloom]

It's the giving up of hope that I object to.

By giving up hope, from what I've read from your post, you are completely shutting off any steps he may take to you in the future. How is that effective DBing?

It's one thing to back off, give him space to heal, show him that you love him enough to learn to speak his love language.

It's other to completely shut him out of your life so that no hope of reconciliation is possible.

I'm asking you to do the first, but from what I'm reading in your posts, you are planning on doing the second.

Hugs.
