Well, my sitch is summarized in footer.

I have begun to contemplate the idea of divorce and it is starting to lose its emotional impact on me. It is still upsetting but at the same time, I think to myself, Well, at least this would be over.

My new life (GAL) is going OK. I am still trying to get out, make more friends, and have a support network. It is happening, but slowly.

Now I am so tired of feeling rejected and unwanted. I've decided to give things more time, but at the same time, I feel like I do not want to "try" any more. Then I thought, well, maybe "trying" is part of the problem here.

So my question is, what does detaching look like, versus giving up?
