I can very much relate to this thread. My WAW (probably MLC) finally got back to me last week six weeks after I sent her D papers (we are trying to do this ourselves). She noticed an error in the 401-k spreadsheet, which I corrected and mailed earlier this week. No word from her. There is an OM, and there has been an EA with a married man in another state, and a one-nighter this past summer just to add to the variety (yes, I have done a lot of snooping). Like Monica, I wonder about the hesitation, but I guess that is just wishful thinking. I continue to try and GAL.

I, like those on this thread, would welcome reconciliation. It all seems so senseless.

I share my feelings here because we're all in this together but I would never share it with a family member or anyone else.
Exactly! Family and friends have no idea unless they have gone thru it as well (very few of my family and friends have experienced this).

I don't e-mail or call him unless I'm replying to his e-mail or phone call. Of course, I fantasize like I said earlier, but my plans for my future don't include him.
This is how I act as well. The whole thing is very sad. We used to call/email each other at least 5x per day. I so miss her companionship, but realize, like you wrote, that I must detach and GAL.

Thanks for the thread, and good luck to everyone.
