Earleir today I contacted my W giving her the letting go speech..... I finally get it, you aren't attracted to me, I can't be with someone who doesn't want to be with me deal.
Looking for some guidance here; Here was her reply:
I think you are very wrong about a lot of things. I was and am attracted to you. What's more confusing is that I do love you. Funny how you "can't be with someone who is not attracted to YOU," since that is how you made me feel for so long. Please recall 4th of July! ...if you can! Our conversation a few weeks ago lead me to believe that you were not interested in me anymore and the condescending tone didn't help matters. I did try to read the book, but since I can only read it at night, I started having trouble sleeping because I was up thinking. I put down the book for a while...and then we went to D5's school party. I don't know what I was expecting, but I guess I thought you would make some sort of gesture. Then I just realized that we don't really know each other that much anymore. Thing is, that I was very angry with you for so many things. Not working on the problems when I brought them up and letting them get so far as to me leaving before making a concerted effort to change. It took me a long time to not be mad at you anymore and everyone has said they can tell that I am not angry with you any more. I needed to get passed the anger first. But you wanted immediate results, an answer right now. You played games with me for the first 6 months & then stopped trying at all with me after that. Six months! I put in 8 years of trying with you. The main problems were problems from day one & I continually tried with you, repeatedly. Read a book, ask the doctor, begging & pleading with you to come upstairs. Only to be made the same promises over and over again. Would you be so willing to trust again??? Do you honestly think it would change? You don't have to answer me, just answer yourself
the cage has been rattled. I can dispute some of her points but I know better now.
What's a guy to do? Do I bring up the fact that she slept with someone else? She wasn't thinking about me when she did that.
Lots to think about now.
