I went round and round with this one. Then it finally got through to me that I had to figure out why it mattered that he did like me. Why was it so important to me that I get him to see the good person I was. What issue(s) was I trying to resolve in myself? What need did it serve? And, yes, it's therapy and Al-Anon that continue to help me through this.
