Wow ... responses already! LL, you have been a good friend over the years , I should have expected you to be the first to respond.

... and before I could finish, you have already beatin me to the punch ...

After reading over time more and more sitches where S comes back 100% after a seperation has me doubting a lot lately, if I have taken the wrong direction by looking the other way while giving her time to figure it out on her own. I'm constantly churning if I could take Matilda's approach. After hearing about hoping's H coming back, I began wondering if I just cause this to take even longer by not encouraging her to leave. I'm even getting embarrassed to say this has been going on for over two years now.

...but how long might that take?


I wish I knew some answers to any of this!

I've been accredited by many here over time to have impart wisdom from my post to others. Sadly, I don't feel all that wise, when I can't seem to figure out the really important answers.

Question? What do you think has kept W from proceeding with D?


Fear. Fear of not knowing where her happiness truly lies. She believes that this M can be a good one, but feels she would be settling and missing out on her on something better. She seems to realize there is quite a bit of risk to go after her fantasy, but doesn't want to let it go because she believes its her once in a lifetime chance at "true" love / happiness.

My DBing only seems to go so far when compared to that.

'til later,
