Dear Sarah:

You are welcome. The opportunity for a loving relationship is probably in the next relationship, with someone new, a relationship in which you will do your part in increasing the chances of it being the relationship you need it to be, from evaluating the man over time, getting to know him before getting too emotionally invested, to taking the  middle-way between acting cool and  blowing up with emotions, that is communicating honestly, gradually opening  up, bit  by bit as you get to  know him.
