Ok.

Changes I think I have made are that I have become more patient with W. I have shown her that I do love and care for her. I have shown her that I can respect her boundaries.

Changes yall want to see are...
Me setting boundaries with W
GAL
Be happy in my life no matter what current circumstances are
Live life to the fullest
Do for me and not for what W might think

Nice goals to obtain
I do have some boundaries that get set with W regardless of what is acknowledged on here. I have trouble fully enjoying my life without W. I have moments of enjoyment.
I am looking for a job for me and my kids and one that will be respectable in the eyes of my W. I admit this since she puts such heavy emphasis on it.
I do things for myself.

I am not going to be as harsh to my W as others on here will be. I am not her doormat, but I do help her and I try to maintain a friendship with her even when it hurts. Ultimately I do want to build a bridge back to her. I can't do that by avoiding her and refusing to be her friend. I do give her space. I would like nothing more than to contact her and say hi, but I don't. I resist. And when I am starting to feel weak in wanting to do so, I post it on here and what I am thinking and it is always shot down very well and I am put back into place.

So at times she is peice by peice pulling the rug out from under me further. I can admit that. At the same time, things ARE improving between us. Gosh, I couldn't have done half this stuff with her 6 months ago.
