Your expectation was that you would get a response and when you did not, your morale took a nosedive, I hear it in your post.
That's one of the first "rules" we learn in DBing but one of the hardest things to truly let go of; expectations.
Your growth, for now at least, has exceeded hers.
AmyC,
I really did not have any expectations of her contacting me or anything like that. I really think she has "moved on." It is all about her. Her marriage vows, "Christian" beliefs and twelve and a half years mean nothing.
I am going to let God deal with her and live my life. I have grown so much. Unfortunately, I have seen just how people can be. So many people jumping out of their marriages to f#c* around. It has definitely impacted my thoughts on women, marriage and love. The truth is all relationships are temporary. I will never again consider them permanent.
As for me moving on, I have received a lot of flack from my best friend for dating other women. I think it is time to clear away the other ladies and just date her.
I appreciate your insight.
Take Care,
RMG
