And I'm sure it got you nowhere, right? Time and space!
Yup... NO WHERE....
I see your analogy of WAS. Time and space may work with relationships but we weren't even there yet. We were only dating.
In my head I wanted to send a text letting him know that he was doing all the right things with his dog with the older health issues, truly all the right things. That he had a good relationship with his vet who had history and testing results that I didn't have. I didn't feel it was my place to interfere with that or add more.
^^^IDK... maybe he wasn't looking for that but more of me just telling him he was doing a good job??? That's what clients want to hear in my office. Sure they are looking for advice but they really just want to be told or recognized for what they are doing correctly. "you handled that well", "you were right to be concerned about that", etc. Did I just miss the mark when I was not "in office mode"? But, seriously, he was doing all the right things its just a frustrating condition that will not get better. He thought I did not care? He thought I was not interested?
I will never know. And, I cannot send him anything... so why does everything I see... I go I'd love to send that too him.
Anyway I needed the reminder.
Time and space worked for my STBXH. Despite the he still lies to me (most likely because he does not want to hurt me) we seem to get along well. I even sent him a text by mistake and there was joking back and forth over it. We seemed to have both benefited from exiting the toxic situation.
I don't feel that anyone sees this guy contacting me ever again.
