Then you are detaching from an unhealthy situation for yourself and you will start to move forward also. You can start living your life for just you and the girls. Listen, this may or may not work - but you need to move away for your own good. Maybe she'll take notice.

But Neil - it's time to do something different - I think you know that.

say either "oops, I was busy" or "sorry -- I forgot".

Being both busy, and so busy that you forget to make them #1, are good, healthy ways to show your detachment.

Also, don't use the "sorry" word every time -- just every once in awhile.

responded with...
"Oops. Busy. Yeah I got it. Ok."

let's see what happens. i can honestly say i didn't think she'd respond so quickly to the 180....

is this what you mean, SMV, by slowly "reeling them in?"

Yep---very slowly, so slowly they do not realize it is happening. Then, they will jump in the boat with you, happy to be caught.

Go read that post about the last resort technique. Detaching isn't for her...it's for you. Whether you are attached or detached makes no difference to what she does. She is going to do what she's going to do.
