In a sense your are saying to the X 'You are dismissed'.
I agree with a good bit of what you say.However not this.I'm not saying anything to the X because I'm more focused on living my life.Finding what makes me happy.
I tried to save my marriage.That didn't happen.You can't force them to stay.
Then I finally stopped focusing on him.Started to save myself.
I'm one of the lucky ones.I have no contact whatsoever with my x.I haven't seen him in what maybe 5 years.That why I was able to detach so easy.It was hard on the kids.But they are healing in their own way.
