It was about me UNDERSTANDING me and learning all I can about R. Because if I learn how to make the most complex relationship of all M work then every other relationship will be better and easier to be good.

I understand that I can not change my W but I can influence change in her through my actions. Now will that bring her back to me? I do not know. That is completely her decision. I use the books to learn and I use my support group to run stuff by before I implement. As you said ever W is different. That's what make the world so complex and interesting because no two people are alike.

For me this time is a gift for me to grow and become the best version of myself. If she does come back I will be very strong and understanding. If my W does not come back then I will be very prepared for my next R. Also reading for me has replaced all those hours I spent in front of the TV that taught me Hollywood's version of reality. There is so little that TV can teach you that is very productive in real life but learning from the wisdom and experience of others is where true growth comes in.

"Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding."


Love is a decision. Genuine love is honor put into action, regardless of the cost.
