Great post. You are sorting through so much! It was touching to see your SO's vulnerability...emotionally and physically and to know how important your reassurances and care are to him. Of course, you see that, right?

I have to admit that I was astounded that you "forgot' to mention or think it was at all important that he got shot down once before in his former R. Is it easier assuming that his resistance is 100% about you?

You are a tough cookie and I am beginning to think you are VERY tough on yourself, as well.

BIG CONGRATS on putting yourself out to a new client. Even if you had not gotten such a great response it was wonderful that you took such a bold step. All the sweeter to have it met with such enthusiasm.

So. Onward, Girl. You have been VERY helpful to me on my thread...thank you. I want to mirror back to you. Acting as if....acting as if...
