This is great news, my friend. I’m so happy for you.

I think it was JJ who once told me that the turnaround point for him was when he truly felt that he could let his W go. Not his preference, but he could do it. Sorry if I’m mis-quoting you JJ, if it was you, perhaps you can explain it better.

I think it was the combination of you being true to yourself, whilst still loving CAW despite her see-saw behavior that did the trick (finally).

The ocean liner does indeed take a long time to stop and change direction. I think the momentum caused by distrust and the momentum of her previously stated feelings carried CAW for quite awhile while you were just showing her how you really are. You didn’t push back, which would cause her to push away. But rather, you kinda pushed gently but obliquely to change her course.

And you maintained your self. That trueness to yourself despite everything was something that CAW has finally learned to trust.

Will she waffle again? I won’t speculate on that one, but I do think that she has indeed turned a corner. We all have our ups and downs. That won’t stop now (heck! It might!) But she has made a statement about her commitment and yours. I don’t think she’ll backtrack on that.

Great news, my friend.

You're living proof that it can be done.

With a little patience.
