My future is no longer 'dependent' on the outcome of his return, much as I believe,I would welcome it.
I love this...I feel this way too. Well, not so much the welcome it part, but the idea that I have reached a place where my future is no longer dependent on his return. I see it as a very remote possibility, and something that, in all likelihood, if it were to happen, would only be a toe in the water, and not a full fledged attempt at reconcillation.
But it truly matters not, because I have found so many things in my new life that make it full and wonderful without him. That part of my life was good. This part of my life has the potential to be even better. It's all up to me. How exciting!
