Lol. Yeah, there's a little bit of the playground in that approach.
Look, on the other hand, there's no need to be sitting by the phone waiting to hear from her and pouncing to a return call/message.
But I think getting a message at 9 and holding off till 2, on purpose, just seems little silly.
Where is the casual, easy going you? You're still allowing this whole scene to consume you. You're overthinking, reaching for the magic pill in the form of a response or action that will make this all better.
You know better than that.
Do you know yet that you will have a hell of a life without her if she chooses to end the marriage?
Do you?
I don't mean the concept of the idea. I mean that it is a part of you, you can feel it in your guts. Because THAT is a truly powerful place to get to.
And no, you don't have to stop loving her to get there.
You just have to be willing to take on only the things YOU can control. You have to be willing to let go of the things you can't.
Have you made yourself an even better man yet? How's your confidence level? Is it still being bogged down by her actions?
LET
IT
GO
Live your life. I don't know how else to say it. Make you plans, do your thing.
She is the object of your affection - NOT the woman who walked out on you. What do you do for an object of affection?
I don't think you wait 5 hours to respond to an innocent text message.
Blessings,
Bill
