Man, how many times I've *thought* about Homer's strong advice to date others and make them jealous. There are many psychological reasons for all parties, but I cannot bring myself to do that yet. I guess when you do it for yourself and have given up, what do you have to lose? But doing it to get their attention or make them jealous is probably not right.
W and I separated 5 years ago, got together 1 month later. The biggest mistake was jumping back into the R and not addressing the issues or making necessary changes in myself. Take is slow. If I get another chance...and if I choose to give W another chance...it will be handled totally different.
