I am no expert on this, just the suffering fool, but one thing i do now know, the farther away you get, the harder they appear to look. In sitch's from this site, the women who seem to go back are with the men who basically start to move on, without recognition of them. My "I don't care attitude" has been noticed by my kids. Not as a not caring, but they seem to see me more confident, more focused and more fun.
I need to keep this attitude going. I feel really good today. comparatively speaking tha tis. got up early, made my bed which I haven't been doing. I have been just slobbing it. Have more energy since my decisions, you seem to be the same. Its a sort of strength thing we gain as we start to see and believe our independence even more. Good luck buddy...
