Cadet | I'm not sure why you will not answer my question on the benefits of your strict approach? It would enlighten others here I'm sure and make us see your side. Perhaps the perceived benefits of the past flexibility had downsides that we didn't notice?
Diana45 | Thanks for stopping by. It can be strange sometimes to realize that complete strangers have such a view on my life and inner thoughts, more than most people close to me. I was asked recently with whom I would share my deepest secrets: partner, friend or family? I replied: Strangers!
Zues126 | Thanks for noticing. Yes, I try to stay at peace with the contradictions, to be patient until they are resolved, if ever. This was present in my M: my WW would want a resolution here and now of anything and I would be willing to give it time. Again, this is what we're enacting in our S. More and more I come back to this idea from my IC that the S can be a continuation of the R.
gan | Thanks gan. Yes, I'm relatively at peace with the mediation. I tell newcomers here that D is not the end and that's also how I feel. It might be the ultimate goal post, the maximum distance at which we'll go before we start coming back towards each other. And if we're never to be back together, then let's indeed take the steps to move on.
