Dear Sarah:

On page two of your thread you wrote: “I keep ruminating on all the things I should have done differently to ‘keep’ him. Any advice on that?”- same advice as I gave you earlier on your thread: be real from the very beginning of a relationship, not viewing your participation in it as a performance aimed at keeping a man interested, but view it as you being real and him being real, connecting gradually.

Find the middle way between playing it cool and acting overly emotional, act authentically, assertively.

I hope your relationship break is a time of rest and revival for you, that clarity of thinking will result.
