Pac, we've been together (with the 6 month or so hiatus) for almost 10 years.
Hawker, I sincerely hope things work out. I was lucky in that W chose to have an A with a straight W, and that didn't work out so good for either of them!
I'm familiar with the back and forth. Oh god, I'm sooooo familiar with it. It drove me crazy, but I do think it meant she wasn't done, and that gave me hope. Like PacLove says above, my W also would get in touch often about trivial things that she could easily have figured out for herself. The best was when she asked if she needed to shut off the water to the house because the temp was going below freezing and she wondered if the pipes would freeze! I'm 100% convinced it was temp checking (haha, no pun intended) -- to make sure I was still available should she change her mind. Eventually she did, and in my case I don't think there was much I could have done to speed up that process. I just tried my best to GAL and not mess up in my interactions with her too much. We all mess up. But the thing I kept trying to remember was that I wanted to be the person she'd be a fool to leave.
11/4/15 W revealed EA/2 months later became PA with co-worker Reconciling since late April 2016 Don't give up until it's time, then move on Be patient, strong and kind but never a doormat
