The desire to only want to R under the right circumstances is a sign that we are growing and healing. Unemeshed, Detached, no longer co-dependent. Not the only necessary transformation but a huge one. We desire a healthy MR, not just this person that has rejected us.

I say this not only to point it out but also to mark the accomplishment.

IMO, it marks the point that we no longer just feel Dumped. Where hopefully we realize at least many of the problems that existed in our MR prior to BD. The toxic atmosphere that lead to our sitches.

A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. Proverbs 12:4

Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife. Proverbs 21:9

I know that for me, it is the first type of movement that feels like progress. Where at once you thought that your world was falling apart, we are now in a position to have standards. God bless!
