Hi Cookie,
1st off, I'm really glad to hear from you; I'd been wondering how you're doing; how are you doing?
I'm really glad you brought up his putting me on the backburner. It's good to get an external perspective; while in the eye of the cyclone it can be difficult to see outside.
Hearing him talk about other women upsets me bc I hear him devalue what we have. I know that he will not find equivalent - or better - with someone else (though he might choose that - less emotional intimacy, less erratic feelings for him). I know he won't find more complete, because what we have is this freak of nature - a spiritual union that is so rare. I certainly wouldn't have bothered with him for so long had it been any "usual" kind of rapport.
I think he objectifies relationships, and that's why he can take me or leave me so easily. I guess I can't change that, huh?
Yes, I am worth more than how he's treating me. Maybe one day he'll realize that. In the meanwhile, I will have to detach, or at least not run after him, because I am worth more than being objectified. Even by my soul-mate. Maybe _especially_ by my soul-mate...it can't be good kamma for him to be treating me this way.
Thank you.
Best wishes,
