feelings as OW seems to be on way out

[forward]

Trusting: She's a bit older than that, but not much.

I admit that it is hard to have true closure. Part of me would like to have the conversation where X expresses remorse and regret. I don't think that feeling will go away. This doesn't mean that I am longing for reconciliation. It is more of a longing for some validation of the R, which did comprise 18+ years of my life.

I think minimal contact is best; this forces us to deal and grow in the ways that we needed to, as well.

And so I will accept the latest date I was offered.
