K, I suggest you bring this new topic up with the moderators because I have a hunch a bunch of nice people will soon be out there looking for love and will undoubtedly find it. It would be nice to read about folks who get over their WAS and move forward.....by the way I am flattereded to have the world famous Kalni close out a thread and start a new one.

fb2, i wonder if any of us have a clue of what we are talking about. At best what we do is take our past experiences and try to suggest things to other folks. Now that I have gotten the double whammy, it is obvious that I will be suggesting to BBJ for instance to be very careful. You are right though that it is alot easier to tell someone else for example that they need to detach for their own good but at the same time we all struggle with this.

Kerry, is there still hope? Very very little I would say. like i said somewhere else, the only way this may work is if W did a total 180 and even then i would have my doubts. Actually, there is no hope left.....it is time to face reality....where she is now and where i am / would like her to be is light years apart. I really hope that I will be able to instill some of my morals to D7 and perhaps D7 can get her drive from her mom....that would be ideal.
I don't feel much like a magnet these days but who knows what the future holds.
I will keep cheering for BBJ and others in piecing with their efforts to reconcile and for the rest of us to refind true happiness without our WASs.
