I can fully understand everybody's perspective and although they differ, the common theme is to look out for yourself, for me and I understand how important this is either way.

I understand there is no guarantee. Panic is the worst. Hypnotherapy last night was good and dumbed it down a lot. It's starting to creep back today as I can feel the feelings in my body starting to bubble up, but so far it's manageable.

Hope for the best outcome, I agree. But I was referring to hope that we would get one more chance to address our relationship, but that wouldn't be detaching, right?
