Hi Lwb (and anyone else),

One day up and one day down. Last night I logged on to my facebook page and read the newsfeed that lets you know hat all your friends have done--she has sent countless things to the OP (you can send little gifts--but no one over 12 usually does so. I notice the OP sent nothing back, but that doesn't mean the OP didn't "thank" her in person). Our mechanic (!) has even weighed in, telling the mutual frien who referred us to him that we have broken up (I assume she told him last week when her car was there) and that she's with someone new and very happy.
I went and did something yesterday that I never thought I'd do--all part of my GAL--I went indoor rock wall climbing. I am terrified of heights, but I did it. And then I came home to see that. It seems that every step I take to GAL is another sign to her that she can get further away without guily. And while I don't want her with me out of guilt, I don't want her to think that being with someone else is OK. With each day she seems to be getting in deeper and deeper with the OP and no end seems in sight. When does this end? DOes it get worse before it gets better? She will have officially been with the OP 5 weeks tomorrow. I can't stand this. Some days feel really desperate, and this is one of them. My getting a life seems to tell her that I've moved on, am not interested in saving our relationship, and I give them my blessing. She didn't contact me at all yesterday--normally I get at least one text, and I wouldn't mind not getting one, but I realized it was because she was pouring all her energy on the OP.
