Gotta Keep Trying 2

[JKL2009]

Just catching up on your thread, sorry to hear about the developments. My 2 cents: don't give a card, do whatever you want with the ring (I wear mine), and don't read into anything you see in regards to "emotion" you saw when you had the talk. She is doing same stuff as my WAW did. She is emotional for purely selfish reasons. Time to put you in the #1 spot and ignore her. Remember the paradox, get deep into it accepting that it is over though internally keeping your faith/hope you can come out of it all.

I also agree with earlier comments, time to play it a bit harder. Have the talk "I prefer to work on the M but if that is not what you want, so be it. It is time for you to fine a job and a place to live. I'll help you look for these since I do care but you need to follow through. We can't make excuses on house markets any longer. It might get better, it might get worse, but this current environment for us here and now is not helping anyone."
