You know Jen I really appreciated you posting this not only because its true for me, but also for my W. I think we all have to remember that our S are holding on to a vision of the past in which they were hurt or unhappy. We need to give them the time to realize that there's no benefit to them to hold onto this past. We can't make them forget, we can only give them the space and time necessary for them to work through things and forget the past.
And what better way for them to forget the past than to have a good R with their S that doesn't remind them of the past so much. If we truly change our behavior for the better, then eventually it will be easier for them to forget the past - and move forward with us!
