No 2x4’s from me John. Six months is still not a very long time. I think this is just the slow process of detaching and of course this time of year makes it tougher. It is all about family. This will be our first Christmas not together as a family as well. I am not looking forward to it. I wish I could say I was but I know that it will be an emotional time. I am trying so hard to remember last year but it is a blur with only a few pictures on my phone. If only I had known... I would have taken many more pics or...maybe none at all. Hard to say.
Sounds like you met a quality person who you could see having a relationship with. I think you are right not to go there right now. It wouldn’t be fair to her and it sounds like she has been through enough. Maybe you can maintain a friendship until you feel more ready. I think you will know when that is.
