CD,

Grit and MHL are right on. It is human nature to want what you can't have. Women are attracted to strong confident men.

You've have executed Phase One beautifully from the get go.

Phase Two is your turn to work on yourself. Get back to the CD that attracted your W in the first place. Time to take focus off her and put it on you. You've already proven you've got what it takes. Be the man that proves your W was crazy to leave.
