I will always take whatever you say with the fact that you take the time to write only stuff to help me or to give your honest view of things. I welcome that and won't defend against it.
z, I don't think that you believe that a W just being fed up with H and a W in EA/PA are same thing. I have set a no R boundary and will follow up on that if crossed.
Even if he is just a good friend, who is not pro marriage, that alone slows any possible progress. If more that prevents any progress.
What can I do about that? Maybe try bust it and expose it. But mainly I can let W face the reality of her choice. She will have to figure out her plan B and all that entails. But mainly I will create a situation where we both have the freedom to move forward. Limbo will be broken.
I believe she will not be happier without me. She will probably realise the grass isn't greener. That does not guarantee she will come back to me, or if she does if it will happen before it too late. I am really tempted to go down that route to try lift her fog and show her what she is losing.
As for my giving up, I guess I am mostly on about giving up the current situation. I am trying to change the situation and the dynamics, but not sure I will.
But to get back to your other point. No I am still not thebestme possible. I am better but not there yet. Hence my goals.
As for the wedding, I have contacted others that may be going and have improved my options. I always intended to do what I wanted, but hadn't fully decided what that was. That alone is a few of my goals combined achieved. Now I've to go focus on work!
