I’m going through a difficult period in my personal life. Someone who is very important to me told me that she doesn’t know yet what she wants regarding our relationship. I respect that she can’t force an answer if she genuinely doesn’t have one. The problem is me. I feel like my whole emotional state depends on waiting. I keep thinking about every conversation, every message, every possibility. I’m trying not to pressure her, but at the same time I know I can’t stay in uncertainty forever. For people who have gone through something similar: How did you cope while waiting? How did you know when waiting stopped being healthy? What helped you regain control over your own life instead of living only for someone else’s decision? I’m not looking for someone to tell me to leave or stay. I’m looking for practical advice from people who have actually lived through something similar. submitted by /u/Waflich-
