The Bird, the Cage, and the open door.

I swear Cali, our sitches are different, but your explanations of where you are at emotionally are spot on for me! Maybe the LBS time lines are similar.

I think to myself too many times, I just don't know if I see a future with H anymore. I look back, even prior to BD, and see so many of my own needs H did not meet. I was really lonely, for a long time. He is stubborn, and he is who he is, I don't know....

However, I commend you for giving W the chance to continue making her way through, giving her some time to work on herself. It really does seem she is trying. I like hearing you say you will give her the chance to do that, THEN see if she can meet your needs for a new R. In the meantime, you continue to GAL and live your life. I like it, you got it. I think that is a great path to take.
