You ARE making baby steps. How many people guessed she would pull back after both the long convo and the flowers? Well, she did. Give it a few days. You will have more chances.
Why do you stand for your vows? Is she worth it you asked? I don't know, only you do. But the real question is ARE YOU WORTH IT? You didn't make those promises just to her, you made vows to yourself. Are you worth so little that you aren't worth keeping your word??? Will you become the kind of man who breaks his promises "just" because the other person doesn't hold up their end when you want them to? Or the kind of person who always keeps their word and tries their best no matter what?
Michelle,
Thank you for that 2x4 I kind of needed it. I will stand. I will stand until I don't. She is worth it and so am I. My biggest problem has been to recognize the baby steps and appreciate them for what they are. I have a conversation like that and just want to say "Ok good. We are making progress now come home so we can continue" but I know it does not work that way. I have to stay focused! Keep taking my small victories as they come and hope for the best! Thank you very much for putting it back in perspective for me.
