Don't know what to think

[T-boned]

AJ, thank you for your reply.

Yes, I realize this is not about me (however I lose sight of this at times) and that he needs to work things out on his own. Because I love him I want to let him go, it's just so hard to sacrifice my own feelings - a bit selfish I guess, but I'm only human. I think you have him pegged very well. You're very astute. I believe he still loves me very much but was afraid to hurt me by saying he wasn't satisfied with his life, including our marriage.

I am GAL, trying to stay positive but do slip now and then, especially after I see him. He had said one time he would like to be able to do things together as friends but I told him I didn't think I was there yet.

All of what you said makes total sense and I feel stronger, like I can do it especially after reading your response. It re-enforces how I felt once he made me aware of how serious this was for him. It has just been difficult emotionally detaching from him. He's had a few years - I've only had a few months.

Thanks for your wise and insightful comments. Please visit me again.

Hugs to you, my friend. ((()))
