Dear bricklady:

Patience requires enduring distress without reacting to it negatively. You are doing well. You mentioned faith (“I am trying so hard to have faith”)-

It wouldn’t be a matter of faith for me, if I was in your place. For me it would be a matter of statistical probabilities: I can act in ways that will increase the probability of a relationship or decrease it. And I will understand- I hope- that no matter what I do, the relationship may not be revived.

Faith leads to expectations, and so, better give it up, I say. Give up the expectations and relax into the process of waiting and enduring and learning what you can as you wait.

Keep posting…
