Thanks As, I hear what you're saying. I think being the LBS puts us in a position immediately to be apologetic for anything that we may have done to cause pain to our partners. I know that I have specifically apologized for hurting my W in all of the ways that I know I did.

Part of this was post-BD when I was trying to win her back, but later on when I had time to contemplate and get clear about a lot of things I did it as well, but from a place of true apology, with no agenda. All I've gotten from my W is a "I'm sorry if anything I've done may have hurt you".

It will be what it will be. As you said, she may not be willing to admit to herself that she has hurt me. She still wants to scratch the back of my neck when we hug for heaven's sake.

I met with a L yesterday which was kind of awful. Just rehashed everything and made me realize that this will be expensive either way. Not fun, but another step in the process.

Still taking things one day at a time.
