FMV,

I know how hard that can be to be rejected. I'm pretty much in the same boat; hugs are fine, cuddling too, but anything more is still a tough thing. ML is offlimits right now, or at least until W gets back from a week at her sisters. Even then, she's said she's not ready for that.

Realizing how long it'll take to heal a relationship can be daunting, especially when it's natural to validate your progress through physical stuff.
