Dear coldwater:

Makes total sense. I wholeheartedly (and mindedly) concur. This is the honest way to go about it, for you to be true to yourself and true to her. Both. Excellent resolution. Hope you post again. I like your thinking and would like to remind you in the future of that.

One more thing: there is a price to pay for doing what I agree is the best course of action, and that is accepting- over time- that this is the right thing to do. When you hear her voice again and the desire in you is awakened, a desire for a relationship with her, that draw to her- it will be difficult. Still would be the right thing to keep at, but you have to be emotionally prepared to withstand the emotional challenges.
