Welcome to the board

Get out and GAL.

DETACH.


Believe none of what she says and half of what she does.
Have NO EXPECTATIONS.
Take care of yourself, breathe, eat, sleep, exercise.

You are on moderation right now on the forum.
SO post in small frequent posts until you get off of it.

Your W is giving you a GIFT.
THE GIFT OF TIME.

USE it wisely.

Knowledge is Power - Francis Bacon

Keep Posting but have patience for your posts to show up

1 - good idea - let her contol the contact
2 - OK
3 - I wouldn't
4 - Actions speak louder than Words. Speak to her through actions. Stop trying to FIX this, you are not going to talk your way out of this.

Give W more space than she wants. Engage in zero ZERO zero R talk.

Dance with other people, have fun, leave W alone.

Your post is too elliptical for me to understand.

Stick to no contact/no R talk. Not -- "hold out for no contact/no R talk for 2 weeks and then start contact/R talk"

Give her more space than she wants. Give her more space than she wants. Give her more space than she wants. Give her more space than she wants. Give her more space than she wants. Give her more space than she wants. Give her more space than she wants. Give her more space than she wants. Give her more space than she wants. Give her more space than she wants. Give her more space than she wants.


Best,
Oldtimer
