I feel like I am operating in a vacuum

It's pretty amazing how a person can shut you out.

Four months ago, I got fired by the wife. In the past month, I've talked to her once on the phone. I have left her an email once a week. I've made sure that the emails and the phone call were not whining or begging or pleading. Tonight, I left her an email to invite her to a birthday dinner for my 27 year old son. I have gotten zip, nada, nothing in terms of a response. I'd love to be able to show off some of my "changes," which are for real, but she's not there. It does not appear as if she is going to "be there." I've been making some moves to get a life beyond her. It's coming slowly, and it is hard.

What irks me is the total lack of a response on her part.

Yeah, I know: detach, get a life, go dark.

It's still a pretty awful feeling when you want to try and fix things, and the other person exhibits no interest in even hearing you out.

I know: fix myself.

Around and around we go.
