I also struggle with the NC verse meeting my H. It is a constant debate with me. I hate for him to think he can have both worlds. I guess they don't look at it that way though. When the bomb first went down, I had no contact. It was too too painful. Now I am trying to do "what Jesus would do". That is my new motto. I am kind, nice, loving, considerate, no games, but on my terms. I still have my life, do the things I need to do, etc.... If he calls and I am busy, I don't answer it. I consider me first, but am still cordial and kind and loving. If he calls me to have coffee, and I don't have plans, I go.
I hope this helps
