Jennifer, I don't think that I *can* live with it.

Tonight, W told me that he spent 3 months working on his low self-esteem/depression years ago. 3 months ~ that's it?? I've been struggling for more than 30 years! W simply cannot understand my experiences. W thinks: What's the problem? It only took me a month to start making some big changes in my life.

Well, that is him. W is a different person, with different experiences in his life. W now says that he's willing to step aside and simply wait for me to be ready.

Well, what if I don't come to that point? I've got a lot of stuff going on in my life right now. Physical, emotional, and financial. I know W, and he is expecting me to contact him (letting him know that I've been thinking of him & am ready) within a week. He first told me that if he didn't hear anything within 3-4 days, he'd take that as cue that I've moved on.

No pressure there.... Jeez!!!!!
