I have been taking the "be a good friend" approach and giving her space. I am scared of messing something up by bringing up the R if I were to explain that I am going to take a step back. Do I just start to pull away and become less available to leave her wondering?

Read the detachment thread a lot!

And don't worry about being weak. We all start there and work to get better!!!!

How are they a couple? How could that be possible? A married person cannot have multiple partners in any moral sense (no offense to Mormons). It's abhorent to let people convince you that someone who is married can be with someone else. I know society like to push this kind of crap down people's throats but if you want to be able to BD and instantly see other people well then you shouldn't get married. Rant over.

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.
