Ahh.. then again, let him initiate while I'm living my life.. right?
Thi is EXACTLY right!
You need a life, so you don't wallow in your sad feelings. If he decides to pass on your marriage, you will have started a life of your own, which will do you good in the long run. But if he decides to return, you will be a more interesting and independent woman.
In my case, I do yoga, weights and am currently training for a 10k run. All in stark contrast to the boring idiot that just wanted to come home from work and watch TV on the couch until bedtime. I have also tried out for a rock band (which I didn't get) and I'm trying out for another one this week.
My W is very intrigued by all of this, she has recently made comments like "I thought this was all supposed to be about me right now, and here you are changing everything about your life!".
