I’ve once again set myself up for heartbreak by getting attached to a guy who doesn’t want to “jump into a relationship” 

We have such a great time together and it just makes me feel so devastated that I have no control over his feelings/desire to commit. I know he has his own issues. 

I’m going through the radical acceptance section of DBT so I’m really trying to accept all of the facts, even though they aren’t what I want. But I haven’t walked away from the situation. I know radical acceptance is also a process and isn’t necessarily about immediately terminating a situation. 

I just don’t feel like I’m accepting anything if I sit here as a willing participant because I’m obviously hoping he will change his mind. 

By staying aren’t I just fighting reality?
