Benito,

I sincerely appreciate that response. It resonated with me in a big way, especially my thinking of everyone was envious of our relationship, etc. You are completely correct about her wondering what she is doing with her life, she expressed that to me. I now realize that I was doing what society told me to do in a relationship, but not what my heart was telling me to do.

I'm definitely co-dependent and have been working with a therapist on that. The hardest part is letting go of the relationship and to allow her to experience the journey on her own. The best thing I can do is be her lighthouse, to be a man any woman would be lucky to have and that only a fool with leave. I have to do this for myself and I find it a little easier each day to realize that.

I have saved your response because it is full of great insight that I feel directly applies to my situation. It is something that I will continue to re-read to keep myself on the right path.

Again, I really appreciate you taking the time to read my post and craft such a thorough response. I hope things continue to go well for you!
