LOL ... not really! I just have no desire to contact her at all. I know what it will do to me and I am shying away from it IYSWIM.

My W unfortunately forgets what I've been through. This 'game' she is playing with D, her emotions and me, she cannot win. I have been playing this game of 'using your D as a pawn', off and on, with D's mum for 7 years. I am WAAAY more advanced in the game than she is. I think she has unfortunately forgotten that.

It's guilt I think that is keeping the tie there with D. Nothing more. Then again maybe she just can't bear to finally drop the rope on D ... no idea.

Heart is catching up with head so all hope is going, slowly, but it's going. That is a good thing for me. I don't want the hope anymore.

I know. And I was relaying it through a third party so Chinese Whispers will be part of it now too!

It has been really hard at point and really easy in others. As I've said before though I think it will push W away rather than bring her back in, but it has been really good for me and I don't regret it.

big deal--does not raise any concern to me on outside looking in.


smile It does for me unfortunately but there is nothing I can do about it so I'm trying hard (and not always succeeding) not to think about it.

Same here...could really use a break at least. But NC will only offer you protection as long as THEY leave US alone.


I am my own worst enemy too though as I keep listening to people. See next post for an example of that!

@cutter - thanks. I don't feel better today but that is probably the hangover - Xmas parties and nights out will kill me! This coming from a guy who rarely drank alcohol at all.
