Are you at the point of reconciliation? When you are both on the path of reconciliation things are different.
It was and is about letting go and moving FORWARD. Tell me, what are you holding onto? A woman who is moving away from you. You'll just get dragged and she'll see you as an anchor.
It only seems counterproductive because it is counterproductive to what you think it should be. But what you think is what got you into the situation you are in.
Did you read Michelle's book? She addresses how this process seems counterproductive.
Did begging, pleading, pulling out wedding albums, writing letters, cards or poems, buying flowers, doing more housework, etc... work?
Steady in answering your question on the other post. She asked me to call only twice a week when I first got over here, and I didn't. She asked me not to email her all the time, and I didn't. SHe asked for space before I even knew there was something wrong, and I didn't give it. So yes she did tell me early on.
i really don't want to have a relationship with the woman she is right now. I guess I'm hanging on to who she was and what we had. I'm trying not to let what she says or does get me spinning. Sometimes they do, but I keep it to myself or talk it out instead of talking to her.
I have been treating her more like a friend when we talk on the phone.
Anything else you need me to add that would help you help me let me know.
