Question: 

I’m losing hope as my Harboring Hope group is ending and I have not seen much change. I feel just as hurt, unheard, and unworthy as before. I have been trying to do all I can, have given my partner all the grace and patience for recovery after his betrayal and yet I don’t feel he appreciates my effort and the criticism I face because we gave him another chance. The fact I feel constantly unsafe and ask for reassurance and affection is painful, yet I don’t get any of it, is discouraging me to continue this journey. Although we just enrolled in the EMS Online course. Today he decided he doesn’t want to see me for the next coming days, we canceled our couple therapy and he is unclear about us, and unhappy with his life. I’ve been unhappy for a long time but have been giving him grace and love. I have received rejection, both emotionally and physically. I have to ask for verbal reassurance that I am safe and he’s taking care of the whole situation. I’ve asked him hundreds of times to do STI test because he met someone while we were separate but he is always busy to do the test. None of these have been met. I feel I’m not his priority, even though he has begged me to get back together. This is so confusing. How do I know it is time to let it go?
