Dealing With Walk Away Girlfriend With "Issues"

[Scotsman]

hi Cadet,

Thanks for your reply:) I have been looking in the mirror very hard, I know I had my part to play in this as well and doing my best to understand and overcome my contributions to the relationship's demise.

I know I have a tendency to withdraw from difficult situations and, I think, a little too indirect or passive aggressive even in dealing with conflict. I need to learn how to listen and talk better I think. I tend also to get a bit too defensive when feeling "attacked". I know I need to work on these things.

In the meantime, I am giving my ex loving distance and validating her whenever possible. I have made it clear I want to support her as much as I can and in so much as she will allow. I also made it clear I would like to work on the relationship but have not repeated this again. Less words, more actions I feel are appropriate.

Thanks again Cadet, bye, Scotsman
