Alb,

Hells bells I'm trying. I'm doing what feels right. But I can't help but feeling like I'm in the battle for my life (given that H is in the midst of trying to decide between OW and me).

I think doing what feels right is probably the best approach. At the end of the day you need to be YOU. Everything else is a “trick” and/or behavior that is NOT sustainable. Just be yourself…the new YOU that is.

In terms of the battle for your life – you SHOULD NOT feel that way. You are putting WAY too much pressure on yourself. This shouldn’t be a battle. Patience Alb…patience. Good things come to those that wait. That would be good things for YOUR H and FOR YOU. R’s are a two way street.

I know I need to continue to work on me but it feels like the stakes are so much higher now. But I will continue to do the me stuff I need to do.

Once again…”stakes”? IMO, this isn’t about stakes right now. This should be about YOU learning the new you and living it and also learning the new him. He probably is and will not be the same person that you knew. So once again patience….patience….

Give your mind a little break from time to time.

Let me ask you this question?

Will you survive if he decides to switch gears and remain with OM?

You know I know what your answer is, which is YES.

Keep reminding yourself of this. You will be fine no matter what.

Do for YOU Alb. Be the Alb that YOU really want to be. If it feels natural go with it. Stop putting the pressure on yourself. Please.

This did not break overnight and it will not get fixed overnight.

Your pressin…

Your getting a little impatient.

Stop and breath….you’ll do fine.
