ok...how do i gain respect?? i discussed it intelligently ( I think). I did not beg or cry or plead. I tried to suggest she and i ( or just she) talk to a counsellor to try to get help here.
Have to run for an after work function. But the short answer is (and puppy, feel free to jump in) you need to act as if you are fine without her. Not in an a$$hole kind of way, but in a hey, you don't want me, ok, I will be ok.

Make plans for yourself. Go out to dinner with friends. Basically GAL'ing.
