I'm not really getting how this is different except that you sound like not being around her lessened your anxieties;
It sounds as if the way you two communicate is still filled with unspoken comments and mind reading and vague replies, so it's all still guess work...
I mean, how have YOU grown or changed from before?
Is it all just about backing off and GAL (Getting A Life, which is right out of the DB books I'm still not sure you read)
or what? Do you communicate this way with the other woman "friend"?
I want to be happy for you - truly -
but I feel as if you just changed chairs in the game of musical chairs.
If another woman leaves you, won't you'll be in the same place you were?
