Every year on my birthday I craved that the A take notice and do something for me. One year he got drunk and took his friend out. I refused to go out with him when he was drunk. The next day he hosted a mother's day special for his mother and I went to it. That was some of the beginning of my detachment.
I realised what I craved was myself. I craved being there for myself, I craved taking care of myself and I craved being in touch with what I needed. I externalized it all.
Glad that you got to get out and meet some people, mingle, and make new memories... Good for you :) I wanted to Thank You for your great insite, and share... Alot of ESH there to read twice:)
