So, if the path is the same, regardless of decision to stand or stand down, you see it’s your path. The path to your healed self.
A concept I really like is - instead of standing down, stand for you.
We start standing for our marriage, our spouse, our relationship. And one by one, indifference mutes those reasons which were based on such strong emotion.
We continue our path, look to our beliefs, and discover. One learns their core, their center, their convictions.
Stand for you.
I like to be accurate in both thought and heart. And remember one’s mind and heart are listening. Standing down has to have something to stand down from. It removes possibilities, it removes hope.
Standing for you, is forward, it’s creation of possibilities and hope.
Hope and possibilities make good healing.
All this may have no affect on the outcome of your situation. It will have an affect on the outcome of you.
The path of the LBS is not primarily about reconciliation, that is the bonus part; the path is about you.
I am so glad you got my point.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
