It is about understanding that our own personal contentment and happiness is about us and comes from within us... I struggle with this as well. Because we are so emotionally attached to our spouses, and it is scary to think that we are not because we may feel like we are giving up. And I've struggled with "act as if" because I was acting as if nothing was wrong, and with some of the LRT because I was seen as too distant, and with getting my hopes up after some small changes.
The key is to remember that the small changes are good but don't mean everything is back to normal. Wouldn't it be nice?
I agree with this. Happiness does come from within. What we got from our S is like a drug and we got addicted to it but we can be happy by ourselves, weren't we before we met our S?
I understand how you feel. Sometimes, I feel that if I don't hurt, maybe I'm not in love anymore. the thing is, right now, we need to focus on ourselves and not worry about the outcome. Things are bad right now and the only thing that will change them is time and us working on ourselves. So that's what we need to do. Be patient and 180 + GAL.
Yeah, it would be nice, but stay positive and maybe it WILL be nice. No matter what, you'll be fine, and so will I.
