pursue the purification of the hunter
tried this for a reasonable time. explaining, expressing, understanding, trying to show the impact of his impure desires. and i think i failed. not that he hasn't tried to make it work for us. but his motivation is to make it better for us. his reason for change is not that his intrinsic need has evaporated by my presence. if there still exists the impure desire and he is only compelling himself to curb that desire for us, then this is also a falsehood. i am not here to make him change for my needs.
hence the realisation that 'i am not the mother he seeks' contrary to the conclusion decius has drawn that

this man is not your hunter
further - i am not sure if i have painted the picture correctly - this man is not really into messign around with others. but he leaves doors open for others to flirt with him, even if it is only because he does nto know how to shut them. he does not actively fantasize about others but still admits to flashes of such thoughts. and this itself is agonising for me. his explanation is that this would happen to all males and it is not a voluntary thing. and my premise is that were i his real anchor ( my word for 'mother' i guess) it would have obliterated all others for him.
and since i cannot get inside any man's head, who knows if i am too ambitious or whether he finds it convenient not to control his mind.
and to zach - my question is what is it that must be forgiven ? if he has desires, who am i to ask for change ? there isnt anything to forgive. all that i can do is to move on, limiting the damage to me, and yet leavign him with what he would like to be. we would both lose some and gain some. if we continue together, i continue to get damaged and he continues to feel pressure - neither is needed.
