Crushed,

but I'm entitled to those feelings as long as they don't dominate my life and impair my judgement.

“I’m sorry you feel this way Crushed” ….sorry dude I had to. I’m just f*ckin with ya.

I wouldn't buy the book unless it was titled DB. Perhaps "Lessons for Boneheads"

Hey, I am featured in the “lessons for boneheads” book.

but I thought MC only after the A ends would be my boundary.

DB 101 – if something is not working try something else.

Does sticking with a boundary that may have been set at a time when you probably should not have set it, make sense?

Quote:
I don't know if I have the emotional fortitude to put all the emotions out there knowing she's not vested in completely sharing with me.

Did you think you would have the emotional fortitude to make it as long as you have?

Are you projecting a bit regarding her level of engagement?

Either way, you still need to let go of her and live your life just don’t forget that you can choose to change your mind about anything, including any boundaries.

Biggest plus is I don't have to confront a holiday without my kids yet

You’re a lucky man. Thank God. Enjoy your little ones dude. Hug’em, kiss’em….just enjoy every second with them.

Keep focused on you and keep letting her go.

God Bless,
Eric
