I didn't really realize it this morning, but, when I came out and hugged my W and kissed her on the forehead, I wasn't operating in a needy reality, I was in a strong place, a place where I was giving her an opportunity to see what she is missing. She may choose to walk a different path, and if that happens, I will be sad. The old me would be devastated, because he needs her to be complete. The new me wants her or another woman as a compliment to his life and doesn't need her to make him complete.
Fabulous Dan! that is great, you've got the detachment thing nailed. I think you will start to be a very attractive prospect to her pretty soon - especially if you keep flashing flesh at her and smell good
I hope you have some wonderful family time, if you decide to go which it sounds like you have, and some great time on your own if you decide on that option. Let us know how it goes! Also, I think you should do something for you this weekend - you deserve it!
