You can pretty much determine my mental state by the random postings as of late.

Leaving tomorrow for 3 weeks. W just told me that it hurts to be around me. She is hurting badly. Says she is trying to pull away and move on, but does not seem to be able to. That might explain the mixed messages. What do I do here? I know I should not get into R talks, should not pursue, should go NC. Does NC ever drive them completely away?

Confused, as always.
