As much as I like the response that non-pursuit gives me from H, I have to remember that I do it not just for the response and hopefully reconsideration it gets from him, but that foremost it's for ME: my protection, my stability, and giving me a tiny bit of control in the only thing I can control MY REACTIONS in this uncertain situation.
Yes yes yes. And I'm quoting this partly for myself because I am in a foul mood right now!

Good for you. I am definitely feeling like the easy road is more appealing right now. You are in a good, self-aware space that is inspiring.
