Remember when everyone advised me to proceed only if I was really and truly ready to make a decision for myself without strings?
So I guess like Andy, I'm just concerned about this letter, and only for that reason.
One thing I found interesting in your letter:
Quote: You have asked many times over, “Why do you love me?”
KAW, being a female who has struggled with self esteem issues a bit, I see this question from a different vantage point than the question you answered.
In the course of my being female I see this question more along the lines of a self musing and not one that you could answer that would be assurance to her. I know you're wondering what the heck I mean, but this question is sort of a trigger for me... because from what you've described to us here (and me in e-mail), I see this question as a struggle with herself.
"How could you love me when I don't love me?"
And I'm afraid that only CAW holds the key to that puzzle.
You know of my fondness for the written word. I'm still going to recommend sitting on it for a little while to really see if you feel the same way in a few days or even after Thanksgiving.
FWIW, my two cents. And a hug coming your way for putting so much thought and effort in constructing such a well written letter.
