Less drastic means "easier". Give her what she wants. Simple as that.
exactly my point. what are you expecting by taking the 'easier' route?
you admitted to failing at GAL, giving space, and detaching. to me, GAL should be the easiest thing to do. yet, you failed at that too. you fear saying things to drive her away. GAL doesn't involve words. it's actions. you. getting out. doing something for yourself. there are no words exchanged. there is no agenda or whatever against your w. you are not hurting her by GAL-ing. unless your version of GAL involves finding one-night stands.
