And this:

Quote:
The hardest thing is to keep yourself dealing with reality. One minute you are firmly dealing with reality - "I am already divorced, it just hasn't happened yet. I can and will handle it. Life will be rocky, but I have to get through it etc" and then when she does something like this it enables you to backslide back into the fantasy of a reconciliation.


Hit the nail on the proverbial head. You are ABSOLUTELY right about this.

In my case, the statement about the Christmas present = (at least in my subconscious) she's thinking about Christmas?!?!

Thanks man. And I DO believe we are in the same place.
