Be honest to her but do not show her you are lost, lonely etc. Just tell her how you feel about her, not how you will feel without her.
Did this at the end of a pleasant lunch; I felt it was time since its been about 4 months since I went anywhere near this topic. I asked if she was open to "explore the possibility of getting back together and if so she could lead the way".
She almost immediately went into overdrive - got very emotional, shedding tears, blaming, attacking, threatening court action. I stayed as calm as I could but left within the next 5 minutes anyway since I had to go to a meeting at work. Some of it sounded like MLC - she's afraid of getting old, wants to buy a Mercedes benz car, her life was wasted with me, etc.
PS I don't really feel like posting any more because I've been checking often but don't get many postings on my thread and don't know what advice to give people either. Not sure anymore if Dbing even works maybe its just an illusion or I'm getting too tired ;(.
