Thank you for sharing this as I am in a similar situation. Only the other half does not want to let go. There is baggage

I feel guilt and confusion over this. He does value me and has kept his word every step of the way. I have no reason to not trust him despite some red flags.

I fear being in denial from accepting mistreatment and misreading situations from my past relationships.

I have already crossed a boundary with myself by going into my situation and becoming a point of contention.

I do fear being a rebound and that I am just bound to be attracted to emotionally detached men. However, this man is the most connected that I’ve ever felt with someone.

So, I keep taking care of myself. Showing myself compassion.. Meditating and praying. At times, I have reset boundaries to ensure that I am taking time for myself and practicing self love.

Regardless.. I do relate and you’re not alone.
