Huh. This seems like a warm friendly Saidit hug to me, it's such an outpouring of love and support, and it validates a number of my issues. I feel as if maybe perhaps resolution has not been achieved right now, it will be soon, and everything will be just as it should no matter the outcome. I am loathe to try and force it. It would be like trying to improve on an ant hill. We would only be capable of crude movements and ruin an intricate design we do not fully comprehend.

I'm gonna be honest; if I met a woman who was married, and she said that she needed e-friendships with guys because she "just connected with men better", I'd call nonsense

I wouldn't blame you. I don't think this is that exactly. There are some factors fairly unique to this particular situation.

You're welcome, Musky. You're a good, decent guy and you deserve better than to invest 100% of your limited emotional energy into a relationship that isn't going anywhere, and is causing you stress and disappointment. I hope you find the resolution you're looking for, and can take care of yourself, mental health wise and otherwise. The smartest moves I've ever made over the course of my life have been to emotionally or physically walk away from dynamics that were just a source of pain, confusion, unrequited something, or loneliness. A relationship that leaves you feeling lonely or in doubt isn't healthy.

You have hobbies, talents, interests, and a cool fire pit in your backyard (hand picture). Focus on the stuff that's real, helpful, and restorative. thumbs up
