I too was clingy and lacked self-confidence, so I think I understand where you are coming from. WP
Thanks for posting! I'm a fellow former clingy and I had no self-confidence person too! DBing has really helped me with that.
I agree with you and all the points you make. I do think a lot of our WAS will at some point realize what they've done and want to work on the M, but a lot of us LBS may not care. I am relatively detached as I can be, but I don't worry about what will happen in the future like I used to. More focused on just living in the moment and day by day. If my WAS ever wanted to work on the marriage, only if it was before we divorced, then I might consider it, but I think it would be tough, b/c all my friends and family would go crazy!!! And I do think it would be very difficult to ever repair the trust and hurt that we've gone through. But I know some here have done exactly that. Karen
