LW, I know this is difficult. If it were easy there wouldn't be this group.

You have to focus on things other than your M.

Listen and validate your S feelings. Allow him some slack and space.

Focus on you. You contributed to the problems.(as did I in my sitch) Figure out how and how this can be changed. How you can get your God-given masculine energy back and how next time it will be different.

Above all stop focusing on W and how she should behave or feel. I believe this is an all-important lesson.

God bless and good luck.
