Heidi,
Thank you SO much for your response! You make total sense. I just recently started to see the pattern and understand it’s unhealthy for me. I am willing to let this go, let HIM go for my happiness, though it does hurt a bit.
My next questions: when he comes back around, do I engage or no? If so, how do I do that in a healthy way? I DO want him but I don’t want this cycle nor the disappointment. Do I talk to him and let him know the reasons that I’m stepping away? And, if so, how do I do that? At this moment, I feel like I might want to gain his attention again at a later time so those ideas would be helpful, but right now, I have to choose me.
Thank you, again, Heidi!
