I am trying to stay back and let her work things out in her own mind. Taking the advise of Sandi2 and others, and will be there when she needs me, but will not pursue. Today she is not so catatonic, and seems to be holding it together a bit more. She get anxious and teary just looking at me. I don't know what it all means.....perhaps she is accepting the fact that she is getting the D she asked for, perhaps she is having second thoughts. No way to tell.

I feel myself turning a corner, and I am not sure how to deal with that. Don't want to lose her, but probably already did. I need to move on and take care of myself. I need to make my way out of this nightmare. But I want to be there for her. I am conflicted.

Getting really tired of feeling shitty all the time, 24/7. Does it ever stop?
