Hi Jeff,

Her “I’m thinking about it…” just leads you to obsess over whether or not she really means it.  In my opinion, regardless of what happens with her, it sounds like it would be really helpful for you to learn to be alone.  The reason why it feels “wrong” to you is because it’s so unfamiliar.  You’ve said you’ve never really been alone.  So for you to learn to not feel lonely when you’re alone would be a worthy goal.  Focus on  yourself, learn more about yourself, and be more comfortable with  yourself when no one else is around.

Yes X, we all need to feel whole and complete without the help of anyone else in our life.  It is in our discovery that we can create more of the life that we want for ourselves, and perhaps eventually, give more of our Authentic Self to someone else who is equally invested in our Well-Being.

Good luck Jeff!

Dawn
