Dealing with the reality of separation

[PeteWyo]

It sounds like you may have a decent idea of what you really want out of a M. Do you? I would say you're not getting it right now, and it sounds like you're saying you may never get it with your W.

I actually have very low expectations. All I ever wanted was a woman that would support me in my times of need, laugh with me, and stand by me. There are bound to be ups and downs, good times and bad and we would almost certainly have fallen in and out of love multiple times, but in the end it would be worth every last second. Instead I get the one that runs away the first chance she has a crush on someone and then tells me what a great man I am and that I always treated her really well.

Thanks for the sound advice, I am going to continue to work on me and make sure that I am in a great place for whoever my next R is with. I do have some things that I want to work on and my anxiety is one of them. I have come to terms with my anxiety and have it under control in the short term and I am also going to counseling to figure out the long term solution as well.
