Hi Anita,

Thank you for the advice. It resonates with everything I am thinking now. I was taught to believe in love and that love can conquer everything. Right now, I am redirecting that love to myself, knowing that my love for myself can conquer everything. I am going to give us the chance to navigate the short term commitments we agreed on and see if he can start helping himself. If this doesn’t go in a way that makes me feel calm and in peace, I am going to let go of the relationship. I just wish I could find a way to keep him in my life.

Hi Mark,

Thank you. He usually sticks to his word. But my insecurities are making me think that this is not going to work. So far, he has communicated with me as usual and we have plans to meet soon. I also promised that I was going to communicate more with him, which I have been doing. But anyways, what I have been reflecting on a lot, is that if he really needs me out of the picture so he can work on himself I will let him and I know that better versions of both of us will come out of this, that we will learn. It is hard to let go and since we haven’t really broken up, I am still giving this a chance. While I do this, I am cultivating my strength and grounding myself so that I can be prepared. It’s hard. But I appreciate every advice and I will definitely tell you what happens.

Thanks for the support.
