Because you are giving him time and space to find himself. Time to sort through who he has become throughout his life without the constraints of a lifetime at his heels. As Jim stated....it is HOW you let go, that matters... I am really having difficulty with this concept. Letting go to me is just that - dropping it, leaving it alone, and walking away from it and not looking back.
Having your needs met by another person is secondary to being able to meet your own needs.
That should be foremost in your mind....meeting your own needs.

I am meeting my own needs as best as I can, I have had to. Even within my now dead marriage, what he couldn't or wasn't willing to give me I sought out elsewhere. I am not speaking of a PA or other infidelity. I am speaking of freindships and other ways to fulfill the needs I had/have.
However my need for physical affection/touch, caring love and sex is NOT being met. It cannot be met unless it is in a committed relationship, which has just blown up in my face. And I am dying a little every day from the lack of that.
