My W is no fool. She knows who I am, what I am, and how I feel about her and this sitch. All I can possibly hope to do is, as you all say, "drop the rope". I've been overthinking this thing since it started. In a nut shell, no more expectations from her, No more ILY's, no touching initiated by me, Just normal conversation and responses. Outside of that, working on myself and GAL's.
