I feel that. Even if youre going to be a counselor youre still going to be a human so you will feel things, lots of things, if you leave yourself open to it.

Break ups are real hard. My wife told me she only loved me before our breakup. Wish I could have believed her. What does she want to do? Continue the relationship too? You guys have a lot of options I think if you both really want to be together.

I know about the give/take, compromise/stand in place position you're in. All I can say is talk more, think more, let each other have your point of view but, if you want to stay bonded, make the loving burning fire be the thing that keeps you connected while the apparent division is going on.
