What I read there was about a man who loves you very much, but doesn't love himself very much and is working on that.

How should you act? I agree with your S22. Snobby isn't the word I would use though, lol.

You should act like YOU. There should be no acting. The harndess you portray towards him is self-protection. But I think it's kind of forced. Try to just not force being so hard with him. Concentrate on being you and how you truly feel.

Can I tell you after over 8 years, I still put up hardness when talking to my ex. I act so unnaturally around him for some sort for some sort of protection. And I am completely over him. I just don't want him "in" at all. But I am aware of how weird I act.

Take it slow. I know you kind of want all or nothing right now because the process is so draining. But I would certainly keep your eye on the prize.
