You might expect your W to pull the suicide card. If memory serves me, she did that before, right? When she thinks you are slipping out of her grip, she has to use some type of drama to draw you back. She knows you don't want to feel responsible for her hurting herself.....and you are NOT responsible, but she knows how to work it. She has other people she can lean on. She has to see that you are not going to be roped back into her threats.
I hope you will not date or get involved with another woman who has a lot of baggage or issues. There are too many women out there to choose, so don't settle, okay?
((hugs))
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
