Amazing post and very very true. I have experienced both sides and you are so exactly right.

There is no trick involved in getting this to work, you just have to mean it, it has to be genuine - if you're just saying words but there is no real meaning behind it, they can tell, they have great intuition with this stuff.
That is sooooooo right. As a WAS I sensed H shift from fighting for understanding and M to letting me go. No words needed. I sensed it and body language said it all.
As a LBS I tried to say the words which I thought were true , that I no longer cared about H. But I was kidding myself. It took time and GAL and a sense of self.
My silence did and continues to speak volumes and I feel good. I feel unburdened, liberated I suppose. This is DB. I am heading for a place in my life when i will make good choices , and that may be with H or it may be with someone else. Whoever it is, it will be right. It wont hurt.
