Sounds like you went with the "Hope for the Separated" by G Chapman approach. I've thought of doing that before. In my sitch, I don't think I'd get the response I would want at this time. I think at some point I would get to a place where I would do this and be ready for either choice she makes. I guess if you draw a line in the sand, you better be ready to live with it.
Things are slightly different for me over the last months, but not in Stage 2 yet. She is friendlier but not "friends again" yet. I am taking it very slow and not contacting her at all unless I have to, which seems to come up to often...like taxes coming up requires it. You get the point. You can read all you want in my journal...post there if you like...
congrats on your decision and things working better - keep working - it always a work in progress - seek improvement...gl2u
