This is my official announcement that I’m doing a Lil and dropping out of our happy little group. I have learned a lot here and have made a lot of progress with myself. I hope nobody is offended by being left out of the list, but I want to give extra special thanks to the Mr. and Mrs. NOP, HP, GEL, Corri, and HD. That’s not to say that that I don’t appreciate the feedback I’ve gotten from all of you; I can’t think of a single one of you who hasn’t offered up something that I could apply to myself or my M. These are just the ones from whom I’ve learned the most.
Unfortunately, one of the things I’ve learned is that SSM is the least of my problems. After yesterday’s session with the C, I’m just beginning to see the scope of the NPD problem. I know that even apart from the NPD, sex is still a big problem for us, a problem that existed even before there was an “us”, but it’s not the biggest problem. The NPD is the big one. That’s the one I need to be working on right now. Many of you have given me some really excellent advice on dealing with it. I appreciate that. But I can only spread myself so thin and I feel that right now, my time is better spent on a couple of NPD forums. I’m committed to staying with W, but I can see now that I need to protect myself and I need to protect my girls. Those have to take precedence over everything else.
I love you and I’ll miss you. I’ll probably even check in every once in a while, if for no other reason, because I’ve really come to care for you, my cyber-friends. Who knows, if there’s any improvement on the NPD front, I might even be back here to try tackling the sex issue again. I wish all of you the very best and hope that I don’t see a single familiar name when I check back in.
