The text requires no response, there is no direct question!

Remember, LTR. Remember the rules of engagement.

I found your thread and it is back on this forum.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.

I already elaborated on them in this post:

And yes I see the value in getting a life being busy and not necessarily available whenever she wants.

Your wife has moved out. Is presumably moving towards D. You need to start enacting the last resort technique.

Here are the rules of engagement:

You never reach out to her first. When she does, if she calls, let it go to voicemail. If she asks questions in the VM you can respond with texts. If she texts, only respond to direct questions. Even in your answers to direct questions you answer only the question, no pleasantries. As short as an answer as possible. Yes or no questions get yes or no answers.

Must LBSs struggle with this. But the biggest mistake LBSs make is being too responsive and available to their WAS. Your best course is to make yourself as scarce as possible.

Ok thanks Steve I appreciate that. For some reason I didn’t see it on the other thread.
