You can't make the decision... because it's hard!!!
I think you are touching on a dilemma I have as well.
DB principles talk about giving space, be busy, GAL, etc. YET, in some sitchs like mine, and it looks like yours as well, being distant and detached was an issue in our R.
So the hard question is WHERE IS THE BALANCE???
25 touched on this a bit in one of her posts in her thread:
**IF your spouse left you b/c you neglected or abused them, then your GAL has to have a different flavor, obviously.**
When are you giving space vs. neglecting?
I don't have an answer and I keep wondering about this balance...
Maybe someone has some input on this?
