Thank you for your response to this, especially from a male’s perspective.  I had responded a few days ago in much the same way and then kept wondering if my response was the result of being triggered.  And yes I think I was triggered. as women often are because of experiences with these types of personality.

Bottom line A, we hope the best for both of you, whether it is finding separate paths or for you to join paths but with empathy, a different perspective and approach, and love.
