WAW left on Independence Day and not communicating

[TimeHeals]

A correction on my earlier post:

I didn't "feel" I would be intruding. I thought that I would be intruding. I "felt rejected", so I thought it was better not to intrude.

I do contact my STBXW (and vice versa) sometimes now, however, but it is without expectations, and I respect both her right to make her own decissions and my right to make my own decissions, and it just isn't motivated by any desire to change her mind.
