I think dropping the rope, in many ways, is probably seen differently by many people, depending a lot on where they are on their journey.
You may be right. For me, I have a mental image of two teams pulling the rope. Between the two teams is a large ditch covered by slimy mud. The object of the game to the team who pulls the other team into the slimy mud will be the winners.
I have mostly seen adults participate and they have strategically placed the stong muscled men in certain areas, and the weaker women in other places. One rope is stretch over the muddy ditch. When the signal to begins is sounded, all these muscled guys go into full force. When each time had balanced amount of muscle guys, they can almost be at stand still pulling on each end of the rope.
The funny part I have witnessed is when one team suddenly and without warning drop their end of the drop. The other head lunges head first in the muddy slime. They are a little stunned at what's happened, but the other team it not paying them any attention. They could get mad, call foul playing, or whatever.........but they don't see regret the other team, nobody is looking back to see what happened after the dropped their end of the drop.
In a sense, you've go to drop that rope you has lassoed around H. You are pulling back kicking & screaming. If you suddenly let go of the rope, I bet they would stumble head long.......b/c they are so use to the tug of war between you. The important part here, is that you should not be seen looking back at the losing team. You have immediately become interested in something else. Do you see how this can be applied to you and H?
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
