UNlike M

At least there's this. UNlike M, I don't feel like I need to make a break with any FUTURE connection or possibilities.

There is a lot good about A2 and what we've had together. And, I won't set aside a possibility that we may one day come together in that "soul mate" way she things she's found with me. But, now is not the time.

But, as I said, with M the pathology and the lack of progress in her recovery from BPD made it absolutely necessary to break, break completely and forever.

For ME, that's not the case with A2. We'll see how she feels about a less "tight" relationship continuing hence. I don't have control over that. Although, I expect she'll need some recovery and adjustment time.
