I always learn so much from your posts, LTD, and look forward to reading your responses every day. I don't have much to add since I haven't had a relationship since my breakup with Richard except that I'm glad our paths have crossed and I'm grateful for everything that you share.
One day when I get enough recovery under my belt and I work up enough courage (I admit I'm afraid to get involved with someone new) to enter into a relationship, I hope I will be able to apply my new found relationship skills with just as much grace as you do.
