The one thing we can probably all agree on is this: you MUST, in this process, look at yourself and what you're about and what you want in a relationship - what your personal values are. If you don't respect yourself - no one else will either.
Therefore, it stands to reason that if you are looking to make your relationship congruent with your values, any action you take or don't take must be to that end. The reactions of others, including WS, are secondary.
