OK...

And I will follow that with saying, "you aren't ready, yet..."

CV, you have had many of this site's absolute BEST working with you. And they have either given up or stormed off, angry and/or frustrated.

What is the common denominator?

If you follow... I am not intending to be mean or derogatory.

What I am saying is, there appears to be a certain "mind set" that a person gets to when they want out of a M... but aren't willing to do the work to do so...

You appear to be at that place...

You SAY you want to work things out...

Yet from the perspective of many, you do not appear to want to do any of the work...

then you say you are confused...

and that you'd like directive...

and you are getting that... in many different ways...

from people on BOTH sides of the fence...

I do not know when or how a person in your sitch gets from where you are... to where you might end up... actually ready to do the work...

For now, you do not want to engage the M... and you do not want to leave the M...

We call that "cake eating"...

You appear to be sitting on the fence...

When you wish to get off, we will be here... we always will be, regardless...

But in the mean time, it is probably a good idea to spend another month or two back where you were GALing... figure out what you want... what new life and adventures you might have in the future... with or without your H...

It was serving you and I suspect can continue to help you clear things up for you... so that you can really be confident that you know what you want...

and then do what ever it takes... what ever necessary steps... to get what you want...
