Youngster's WAW Still Chooses OM!

[♪CS♪]

My W continues to ask if I'm dating anyone with almost every phone conversation we have.

I remember an old rap song...

"I'm not a player, I just f&#% a lot"

Good answer?

Kidding...

The depression is slowly lifting.

Good to hear.

I hate having to do this. It feels entirely paradoxical to what I want to do (i.e. be there for her when she "needs" me).

Maybe re-read [edited by dbmod: reference not recommended nor allowed]?

She is having an A and you still want to be there for her? Make the A easier on her?

Gritters line is perfect... "You are not letting her feel the consequences of her decision."

I am hardly one to talk, I did it for months...

But at some point the true reality will hit and doing this will not seem counter intuitive. It will seem natural. It will be driven by strength and not fear.

And if it IS driven by strength it will not mean being any less caring than you want to be. It will mean you are respecting BOTH her AND yourself.

You will respect her CURRENT choice.

And you will be respecting YOUR mental health and boundaries.
