Yeah, I basically messed up. He said it himself....I need to detach. I'm already doing the GAL part, so that is not a hard thing to continue. So, that is the path i'm going to go down now. No more of me initiating contact, no more asking to make things work, and no more looking sad and hurt when he says he want to D.
You are so right, the person he fell in love with is the tough, independent me. He now says that he doesn't want that person...but I know that is not true in my heart.
