By the way, one of the things I told H2H last night, and which I forgot to mention, was that at one point during our difficult talk I realized that S. is really in this to try and make it work – he does not have one foot out the door as I often worry (thus inching my one foot ever closer to the door in reactive self-protection). I can’t remember what it was he said, but whatever it was (I think it was about finding the safe space to share), I had a moment of clarity.
So what do I need to focus on now, and use it to move forward? See text in red, above.
