Beth, you need a plan… and you need to stick to it.

Beth,
I think Emma is trying to tell you to be prepared for whichever way the situation goes. Stand firm in your convictions and don’t “give in” if he says he wants to get back together. You take back your power and tell him there are things YOU need to work on and think about before you can re-commit.
If he says this is it, don’t pour your emotions out. Have a plan to wish him well and say goodbye with dignity. Then call up a friend right after he leaves.
Do you think you can do that?
Whatever the scenario, please continue going to therapy for the foreseeable future.
Beth
Yes therapy will continue
I’m just scaredHappy
Isn’t it almost 9 pm there? He was supposed to be there to see you by 8?

Stay strong, Beth! Remember whatever direction the conversation goes, you are smart, caring and and your little girl adores you and needs you. You deserving of real love (most importantly from yourself! :)
Let us know how it goes.
Ashley
Hey Beth, something that may help you feel less anxious is to listen to your favorite type of music, preferably happy upbeat music, it can really help you get into a better mood while you’re waiting :)
Pink Lemonade
Agree with Ashley, music is amazing and gets us through any situation! Or cuddle your little daughter or get some fresh air with a nice walk :)

More suspense here than who shot J.R.!
Vanessa
Kyra, chill. Don’t you think they’d be talking instead of her typing on this site. Give it more time.

I’m sooo not a therapist but I know you’re obsessing with this situation you’re not functioning as you should.
I really hope you get this sorted out and whatever the outcome you get to move on.
Do not stop therapy even if you get back together because you have issues you really need to work on.
If he breaks off please, stop all the dating and focus on yourself and regaining your independence.
You really, really need to work on yourself.
Best of luck and big hugs!!!
Beth
He doesn’t think he can give me what I need right now
Jippity
I’m sorry Beth. That must have been hard to hear. Are you coping OK?
Beth
He cares about me and still wants to see me
But as far as commitment – he’s not there -
