Actually Pickle, I don't show her my crappy side. And believe it or not, I am better when we are together.
I actually think it's a trust issue that I have to deal with. When I'm with her I feel great. When I'm not I feel awful and get anxiety. I know that this is something that I have to deal with and get over.
Anyway, I am being that guy she fell in love with (I think). I mean who the heck really knows what they want?
I just hope I can hold out long enough until she gets those "in love" feelings back. Otherwise, we all know that the LBS is also vulnerable to the same temtations that the WAS was when being denied their LL.
Another danger is losing hope that the WAS will ever really return... And so the LBS becomes the WAS. Happens all the time...
