This sounded like a "I need some space" email. It still feels like she wanted you to know that she still is interested in pursuing the new R you and her are building.


I agree, but it also has a bit of "backup plan" feel to it.

What would make you feel wanted? By your W or anyone else. You have come through this awful time brilliantly, made a life for yourself, worked on being your own man ... I am truly amazed at how well you have done. Yet you still need to feel that sense of being wanted. Is it a kind of validation of sorts?


My statement about feeling unwanted came out wrong. What I meant was I was tired of feeling unwanted by HER, not in general. I've got a lot of people in my life who are very pro-future, and who make me feel very wanted. I had gotten back into the dating world, but decided it was best to stop while my W and I were getting to know each other again. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I really can't have my attention in two places at once. I've never been able to. If I'm dating one women, I see where that goes before I date another.
