As I mentioned in my topic yesterday a lot has changed in my family this weekend; Y is working with me to open our relationship up to E. I think this is a positive first step in my own quest to treat my feelings as valid, and I'm very fortunate that Y wants to help this work out. Y is fully aware now how much I need him to work on opening up, and so far I'm relieved and pleased with the effort he's putting in. I hope as we go through this tricky transition that Y and I continue to regrow the bond we once had and fulfill each other's needs better.

I just wanted to send you a personal message about how much your post meant to me (about the lack of emotional connectivity from Y). I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and your post really spoke to me on a number of levels...and I needed to hear from someone who had gone through what I'm going through now. Unfortunately the Love Languages book isn't speaking to my relationship's specific issues as much as I wished it did, and your experience seems to speak more to my current reality. It's the hardest thing to process, but I am now trying desperately to do right by myself. Your post has given me reassurance that I am not alone in my feelings and that helped so much to hear. Thank you so much for sharing your story; it helps give me strength.

Haven't seen you for a while. How have you been
