I feel like we are in a similar place at this moment. Just when you feel like they are starting to open up and re enter the world they start to pull back.
In my situation there was give and take in conversations and time together. Over the last couple weeks I have felt a pulling away again. It is dis heartening as just when you feel like you have turned a corner you suddenly feel like you are slipping back in.
I have decided to pull back myself at this point and see what happens. Pull myself back out of it a bit and give her more time to bake.
I do start to wonder how long it will take. It feels like I have been at this a long time like you. I wonder if she will ever be a person that I want to be with day in and day out again.I sit here and wonder if I should continue or just move on myself and follow a different path.
At this point it is in both our control over what path we choose. I am trying to give myself the time and space to see where my heart leads. I am sure you will do the same.
