W rushing thru D, help

[RR17]

Cory, I just discovered your thread and have skimmed through. As you know by now these stories run very similarly.

I saw you ask how respect is restored. I don't have all the answers but I have seen improvement in my own and believe to have gained some insight.

For the time being, you are not just you the person, but you the situation. At some point, WW decided to quite this sitch. All that has been and was good is a threat to this decision. This is why we stop pursuing.

How do you restore what was? IMO, your best chance is to remove the pressure. All that is contained in this group will aid in this.
It will not happen quickly. You can speed it up by doing what is said here.
Pursue and plead and all the stuff you see in the movies will do the opposite. Only then will she be able to break the fog.

Once You the sitch has removed the pressure and only then will you have created an atmosphere for change in her heart.
But wait, there's more.
You need to take this time to evaluate what went wrong. Not the part that just she contributed but the only part you can correct. It's not easy. It's personal growth and will benefit you regardless of how this turns out.

If you want her back, this is the first step. All the backstory and childhood stuff can be address only after the pressure is removed.

Good luck and God bless.
