Mimi, I think you're doing the right thing to protect yourself, but take it from a fellow rope-dropper, it is a much slower process than you expect it to be! It's not as simple as doing steps A,B and C and it's done. It's a mental and emotional process that takes months and months. There will be times that you think "I've really dropped the rope" and then a month later you'll say "wow, I thought I had dropped the rope but can see now I didn't, but I really have this time" then a month later you realize you're STILL in the process. Someone here posted a long time ago that they had boldly announced that they had dropped the rope on these forums but later realized that they were quietly clinging to it behind their back where no one else could see, LOL! I think we all do that at first. So be patient with yourself and don't expect it to happen quickly. Keep working on you and eventually when you simply don't care that your H posted a snow bunny pic you'll realize it's done and you've moved on.
