Quote:
I let her know tonight that I'm working on being patient


But what you should be doing is saying nothing about it and demonstrating patience with your actions and behavior.

Quote:
and that I would be here for her


You're just saying this for yourself, to get her to throw you a bone and she prob just feels pressure, pursuit, and despair.

Quote:
and that I'm not leaving.


How does saying this help someone who right now doesn't want to be in the M?

I'm sorry to be harsh, but instead of demonstrating patience and strength, you're demonstrating immaturity, insecurity, and lack of individualism.

Do you want a mom, a big sister, or a wife?
