Well, W did respond after all. Talked lawyer stuff and then this:
Quote:
Perhaps you will not understand this, but I did not end a relationship with you in order to pursue another. I ended the relationship because I couldn't be there anymore. I'm happy to be on my own right now, but truly sad and sorry that I hurt you along the way.
So I wrote back: "I think I understand - as I've said before, I have recognized that we both need and want a new relationship and in order for that to happen the old one needed to end. And I am hurt that you seemed to concentrate on the past rather than seeing possibilities for the future, but that's okay. With time I'll get past that.
But I can't assume anything about how you feel and what you said to me at the beginning of March was that you wanted to try to make a relationship with OM work. Perhaps that has changed now, but whatever the case I wish you the best."
So, this is me finally letting go of hope. When my thread locks, which should be soon, I guess I'll move over to Divorced but not Done.
