Hello Sgctxok;

Thank you for the reply.

The answer to your question is not that we “can’t” reconcile – it’s certainly in the realm of possibility; though remote at the moment.

The problem is that my wife has no desire to reconcile; and though I would be lying if I said I didn’t want my old life back; I have decided that at this point it would be better to move on rather than continue hoping for something that is probably not going to happen.

And that’s where I am at the moment. I have convinced myself that it might be better and healthier to just move on, but emotionally there are still parts of me that miss the way things where; and in those moments during the day of non-distraction I ketch myself wishing things were different and it throws off my flow for a while.

I need to get my emotions in line with my decision it move on; I guess that only happens in time. But I was wondering if people had any short term techniques that help their mind off the past and back into the present.
