Emotional coward deliberately destroys potential cover.



Backstory

I wrote the message having heard she had resigned. If in fact she hasn't, or comes back to work here at a future date, then I'm going to have to face her. Emotional coward that I am, at least I penned her that message explaining things and how I felt, but not in a needy, demanding way. The old me would have just let her walk away wondering what she'd done to offend me, so perhaps I'm improving on that score.

Dragonflower says,

You did good!

Sagacious says,

I'd like to think so. I wrote that I'd deliberately been trying to wall her off as a way of creating distance from the strength of my feelings for her. I was using this method as a self-protection mechanism, but hurting her was an unfortunate consequence.

Dragonflower says,

That would melt my heart. Good luck! She sounded like a straight forward type of woman. But she might use that as self-protect also. It sounded like there was something there. Women cant read minds as much as it seems like we can, so good for you for reaching out.
