Dear Tineoidea:

You are welcome.

Regarding M, you wrote: “Despite everything, I still cherish the memories we created together“-

– I think that “Despite everything”, you still view your relationship with him as something quite wonderful and you want to resume it. Problem is that M has a need to Possess. You managed his need quite well, but W is not able to follow suit: she can’t do what you can do, in this regard.

Therefore, you cannot have the two of them in your life, you have to choose one or the other.

Regarding W and M, you asked: “What could I even do in such a situation? Should I leave them alone and hope it ends sooner than later? Should I try to remain close to her as a counter force?“-

– To be able to answer, I need to ask your thoughts about what I wrote above, that you need to choose one or the other. Are you willing to have a life with her and have nothing to do with him, nothing at all, as in no contact?
