Your goal is to get him back, committed and loyal, forever.
My goal post for R would be committed and loyal for the foreseeable future.
Thornton, I think you and I both wanted an enduring love and went through multiple R attempts. My final R attempt may have been a fail, but I don't regret it. I felt some closure each of us trying our best for a year to see if we could overcome baggage around the breakup, and then address underlying issues. We went to and practiced therapy. We solved some issues. We weren't looking at other options. We had many good moments that year. I can sleep at night knowing that she and I, deep down, are now incompatible despite both of us earnestly wishing that we could work out as a couple because we love each other. (:
I regret one of my earlier R attempts, where she momentarily wanted to make changes, but then dropped the notion within a week. I definitely made my share of mistakes in this process.
