I think my friends mean well, but they're only concerned with me being happy in the short term.
Maybe I'm trying to understand something for which there isn't an answer, or at least an answer I'm going to be happy with. In my head, it makes no sense to leave and disrupt both of our lives on such a monumental level if she isn't serious about filing for divorce. Maybe I just don't understand the half-way thing. For me, I'm either all-in or all-out. That makes this detaching thing much more difficult.
What is frustrating me most about this no contact thing is the silence. We got along great when we had contact before. We joke around. We laugh. I just got tired of being the one to always initiate things, so I stopped. I think I'm just second guessing my plan here.
