Yes, thank you. And it's completely in line with my thinking. Then you would be a WAW. It's all about stages.

But I intend to move on and look elsewhere to get my emotional and relationship needs met.
This is very validating. I kept getting the message from some of the posts that I was somehow deficient because I have emotional and relationship needs. That somehow because of that need, I'm not happy as a person, when I would say I am. Always changing, always improving, but happy nonetheless.

I'll put some emotional and physical distance between us to protect myself while I get over him and get over the hurt and rejection.
This too. I've felt like I was being told I was dysfunctional because my H can do things that hurt me (aka. cause me sadness, aka. unhappiness.) Unless there's some non-S&M version to be hurt and happy that I'm not aware of...
Thanks so much! I feel like I've been interrogating you, but you've been so helpful! At least I don't feel like I've completely lost touch with reality anymore.
Now, in keeping with my 'living happy' commitment, I'm going to go pick up my son's bud and take them to the pool, while I do some reading! When I get back, I'm going to take some time and reread the posts up until now and glean. Thanks again, Adinva!
