Hi ~ This is my opinion only ~ But as I see it, I would want my partner to back off. If I was truly confused, I surely wouldn't want the stress of a relationship to worry about too. I wouldn't want to worry about the "newness" of the relationship and how my illness was affecting the relationship, etc. I would want to ONLY focus on myself and how I was going to get better and heal. That would take all lthe energy I had! Dealing with the past can be very draining and painful -- you don't need someone else to confuse the issue.

Just my 2 cents worth. Having gone thru therapy and dealt with alot of pain, and then having to go home to my husband -- UGH. Didn't fare well with our relationship, and he was an idiot besides. I KNOW you want to be supportive, but she's better off just having plenty of space right now until she can sort things out and heal.

God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
