You know, the longer you detach and GAL, the easier it is to keep it going and not backsliding.
W is also doing a few odd things. Before when I was there as her doormat, she would hide in her room when she used her phone, or sent txt messages, out of my view.
Now she is doing it when I am with her, and she really does put on a show. She talks out aloud when she reads her txt like "Oh, that is soooo cheeky", or "Hah, thats naughty", and makes it so obvious (but I just ignore and keep reading or watching TV or adjourn to my office to use the PC (showing no emotion other than my pleasant self).
When I am locked in my office using PC, I can hear her upstairs talking loudly on the phone, laughing etc, she has never done that, she was always in her bedroom when she spoke to her friends etc.
I think my DR efforts may be having an effect. I hope so anyway.
But it doesn't hurt as badly as it did even 4 weeks ago. I think when you accept that they are gone or in another relationship, you tend not to worry or think about it as much as before.
Just appreciate what you had, and move on. If things do change and she does come back, all the better, but if not I have accepted it.
Also I will never lose sleep, as I have handled myself with honesty and integrity throughout our marriage and even after everything my W has done to this point.
