Hi X - Yes, indeed, this thing about expectations can snowball so quickly. KAW's perspective on how NG as a man may think that what he is doing is great was like someone shining a flashlight on a dark spot in the garden, the flowers had been growing, I just did not have the light to see them before.

But, I am also finding it tough to continuously moderate, even compromise, what I want out of life. To what extent, and for how long to my wants take a backseat? At what point will I decide the relationship is no longer attractive to me? I suppose only time will tell.

Yup, still in a bit of a slump Slowly
