Thanks, Anita. I sure hope so 🙂

Well, she never acknowledged the card. I don’t know if she never received it or just didn’t want to say anything. She has initiated texts so it’s not like she’s ignoring me. We are still only texting about once a week for maybe 30-60min. I’m getting frustrated and am starting to wonder if she’ll ever come around. I’m not really sure what to do now.

As always, thank you, Anita. Something is telling me to be patient. Every time I sit down and really think about the situation, the words “be patient” always surface. I don’t know if it’s wishful thinking on my part or if something greater than myself is intervening. I would like it to be the latter. 🙂

Well, throughout the week we texted here and there. Usually I didn’t text her unless she texted me first. Well yesterday I texted her and got a two word response. I haven’t heard anything from her today. I guess I have to be prepared that this could be a pretty long process and may not end in my favor, but i have to believe that it will. I have to believe in fate. I have to believe in something. Thank you Anita for your insight. You’ve really helped a lot. Thank you.

I wish she knew too 🙂

Hello,

So the last time I talked to her was a week ago. On Friday I sent a text just saying that I’m thinking of you and I hope you’re alright. She did respond today, and we texted back and forth briefly, just talking about general subjects. I’m so confused with everything, but I think I may be overthinking everything. She needs time to get her head right. I just wish she could see herself through my eyes, because she’s amazing. I’m just worried that she won’t see me the same way.

Dina and Anita, thank you so much for your insights. Dina she has said that she has to take a step back so she can clear her head and give us a fair chance. The scary part for me is that since she has said that, things have changed a lot. More so than I expected I guess. I don’t even feel like I’m in the friend zone anymore…..more like the barely an acquaintance zone. I guess I just have to trust that things will work out for us, just to give it more time. There’s no doubt she’s supposed to be in my life. You don’t cross paths with someone three times and end up unknowingly living in the same state coincidentally.

Again, thank you for the insight and encouraging words. I really appreciate it.

Thank you, Anita. I guess I just don’t understand. I haven’t heard from her at all today which I’m not surprised after I told her I was going to lay low for awhile. She thanked me for giving her space and said she was dealing with emotional bs from the ex. Why am I being pushed away? Is this a normal reaction when dealing with a toxic ex?
