Together since we were 15...Part 3

[purgatory]

So glad that you were able to reflect on your anxiety and realize that it was coming from you, not him. You have put a lot of effort into discovering the new you and taking steps to repair things you didn't like about yourself... He needs to bring the same amount of respect and effort to the the R.

I think it's a positive step that he's willing to go to therapy, don't ever mention that he never wanted to go before- only appreciate his attendance now.

(In a way, he's pursuing you and willing to jump through hoops to be with you.... Like a LBS.) you can understand his desperation right now, don't take advantage of it. BUT, just like we've all been trying to prove for our WAS- make sure that his actions aren't just tactics to 'keep you'.

I think you have such potential for a wonderful R!! (whether you ever get M or not)

Enjoy this new development with him, just as if you were dating some one new... Well, he kinda *is* new- the new and improved him!
