Glad to see you back, and glad to see you wondering about what it is YOU need in the midst of all of this. You can't ask for what you want... of your W or yourself... until you have really given it that thought that you so clearly are doing now.
Quote: I'm glad to see you appear to be focusing on taking care of yourself. Whatever happens, we need to take care of ourselves, we need to respect ourselves, we need to love ourselves in order to do the same for our S.
I'm with Renew here. In fact, Renew's post and Karen (insightful woman she is!) echoed my thoughts too.
Your posts were really heartfelt and thought-provoking. Read them again whenever you question whether you have gained perspective.
I know we women often prescribe buying lingerie in these situations... does wonders... but I am not sure what it is that the guys prescribe. Whatever that is, make sure you go out and do it!
I'm still of the mind that perhaps what your W needs most right now is some space. Take good care of you!
