Truthfully, no I do not want the M to end.
But I do not want to be bogged down either.

onceburdened, this is my second thread, the first is in WAW- called PLEASE HELP, I don't know how to post the link. I mention this b/c this has been going on for a while, and I am only now "getting it".

Thanks for your encouragement. I just feel the urge to beg again or to rationalize. I know it won't do any good b/c she doesnt have any feelings for me now, so I won't waste my breath. Clearly at this moment I am not detatched.

The good news is I have some control over my emotions, I am able to pause prior to acting- so i am able to avoid making my previous mistakes.

I feel I am being too shortsighted, and I feel that this moment I am focusing on a M that is not even there...so why be concerned about something that is not...I'm starting to feel better now

I include that for two reasons. One, just as a general courtesy, the way one would say "please," "thank you," or "I'm sorry; that certainly wasn't my intention." Not to convey some real sense of REMORSE.

The other reason is to reinforce the "I'm just super busy" part.

I understood your intention. Ms Maynard might not. That is Maynards call.

The goal is projecting that you are very busy living life and not waiting on her......

replied-
busy, good...tx u

received a reply very quickly

"super busy and stressed right now..."

Naturally part of me wants to inquire or try to encourage or fix, but I will do nothing. I've felt really weak emotionally today, work is not that busy I suppose...

Not responding is "THE RIGHT THING TO DO". You can handle it.

Agreed. Don't feed into her drama. If she says something similar when you are in-person, say "I agree; this is really hard on ALL of us right now."

So- W did not come over yest morning, she texted that she would this morning.

I took Puppys advice and sent the reply to yest text "This is stressful for everyone, you are not alone."

W- disregarded and sent the msg about soming over in the morning to see dogs.

We are supposed to see eachother later today- I might reschedule. We had a good laugh over texting- one of our dogs was so happy to see her he ran through the open door and fell in the pool.

W texted me that shes going to see psych to get off her meds- she cant afford them w/ no insurance, and she feels she doesn't need them anymore.

This could be a good thing b/c our MC said her lack of emotions concerned her.

Staying focused at work- I made it through the day yest not pursuing like I had contemplated- thank goodness for that!!
