What do I do with her?

[Mike is Hurtin']

Thanks, everyone, for the kind welcomes and responses.

I'm doing my darndest *not* to seem desperate. Since she moved out I haven't called her (except to pass on relevant information like mail she should know about), haven't made any unexpected visits, and I don't act all "chatty" with her friends. It's killing me inside, of course, but I'm doing what I think needs to be done.

It's also difficult to know what to do with the feelings of having been violated and lied to. There's a side of me that just wants to lose my temper with her and tell her *exactly* what I think about her actions. Again, I know this would be entirely counterproductive for both of us, but the urge is still there. That will hopefully pass with time.

Anyways, I'll look forward to talking more with this group - you all seem like a wonderfully supportive and thoughtful collection of people.

Cheers,
-- Mike
