FS, it's nice to see you. I'm glad you said you're not dating because it isn't right for you in this moment, and that you weren't ready to give more. That takes a lot of self awareness to say. It will come in its own time.
One thing I've always found interesting is that you have repeatedly said that you believe you and your "Ex" are not together due to each of your own stubbornness. You don't blame him. Why is that? I think a lot of folks here might say "MLC" or other depression or changes in your ex initiated this process. So why do you feel it's on both of you now? Do you think if you took two steps forward he would also take a step forward?
I'm not sure if that question is clear - but I'm curious to your thoughts on this.
Glad to hear about the solo travel successes. It sounds brilliant. It makes me want to do something similar!
