i guess the long and the short is that i vary emotional risk by how the person has demonstrated to be in the past. if you think a conversation with her will encourage her towards change, then you ought to try to keep that line open. if not, then find a way to heal and put her in a circle not so close to your heart.

I can't do that with any of my relationships. I can't separate out less important and more important. All have immense value to me, and all can hurt me a lot sometimes.

I don't know why it's taken her so long to respond. I took 4 hours to respond because I was upset, and didn't know what to say or how to say any of it. But I don't know why she hasn't responded yet.
