Great posts above, this thread is very helpful. One question about detachment that I am having trouble with. My W said that I did not express love enough and she found what she was looking for in an A. I don't want to validate this in any way because I firmly believe that I love her immensely and was just speaking the wrong love language. In a couple of posts above, it was stated that detachment might have to look different for someone in my sitch. I am really struggling as to how this should look. I want to keep the road home paved and smooth and for her to really feel that there is something good waiting for her at the end of that road if she is willing to make the journey.
