You guys aren't going to believe this 5

Hi Thornton, glad to hear you are doing well. Sounds like you may have some interesting career plans for yourself - yay! I also work in HR, but I moved out of the public into the charitable sector and really enjoy it. I work for a 'young' organisation and have been involved in some interesting projects - unchartered territory most of it for me..

It is such a good idea to spend some time thinking about what genuinely brings you happiness and joy beyond a romantic relationship. I often revisit these three areas - love of me, things I love doing and people I love - and gratitude. These are all genuine sources of joy, meaning and fulfilment I think.

It sounds as though there are some regrets on her part and it is good she is in therapy - and good that you are too. I would encourage you to take plenty of time for yourself and try not to get too distracted or drawn in with the contact. To genuinely move forward, dig deep and make meaningful changes in you and for you does take some time and I think these are very much early days. I certainly wouldn't encourage you to feel any particular obligation towards your ex and hope you will make nice plans for yourself, and so some stuff you'll enjoy. Time will tell how things may unfold..

Take care Thornton & good to hear from you
