When is kindness enough?

[Ripe]

And then I started feeling something was not right.

My W would not call, write an email or send an SMS. All the contacts we had I initiated them.

July 26th I phoned her.

She told me she felt she had made a mistake by deciding to stay one more year abroad.

That the Psychiatrist told her she could drop the medication if she were in a stable environment and working, but being abroad was stressful and so she should not.

That she felt like going to her boss and ask him to reconsider the leave he had granted her until August 2016.

That she had decided during a moment of vulnerability to stay abroad with me for one more year .

That she needs to be selfish and thing about her needs.

That she needs a time for herself, to look to her inner self, to be free in her choice.

That she feels exhausted as this suffering has been ongoing for too many years.

That she thinks her feelings will not change and she needs a new cycle.

That she will stay for now in seclusion and that she will announce me her decision when we meet face to face in August.

To her sister she said, two days ago, that she needs to live.

And that’s it.

Since then we haven’t had a single contact as per her request.
