Saying "no" is hard, when you desperately want things to be back to normal.
You are doing what's right (meaning not just rushing back and thinking everything will be better).
Therefore, it's difficult.
Saying 'yes' and allowing yourself to get put right back in the same position is the easy way out.......... then you don't have to feel the crappy feelings that creep up when we try to stay away from a person we love.... which only leads back to the same problem, and round and round you'll go.
So, I believe you are being strong, and I am proud of you.
Love,
Cess
