No End in Sight

[G8r]

Think of it this way TimR. Like your work out, no pain, no gain. Same goes for your emotional and spiritual growth. There is no growth without pain and how to you expect WW to want to return without growth. I'm not saying she'll want to return because she may not. In that case, your growth will benefit your S13, your new relationship(s) and all those around you.

I also hear you about not necessarily wanting to be intimate in the future because you've been hurt. Something I've noticed in myself is that I think I subconsciously push people away in an effort to protect myself and then I kick myself and bemoan my situation when they pull away. You certainly didn't make your WW have an A but try to take a look at how your fear of intimacy could contribute to your problems with intimacy. Sort of like the situation with dogs. People who fear dogs often get bit by dogs which reinforces their fear of dogs. Usually the dog is just reacting to the person's fear. I have a 100 lb dog that thinks she is a lap dog, friendliest dog in the world but she picks up on people's fear of her and stares at them rather than ignoring them or wagging her tail and trying to get pet by them. They then become more fearful because she is staring at them. Just some food for thought based on MHO.

Hope tomorrow rocks for you!!!
