Working on acceptance and forgiveness

[AntoniaB]

Glamgirl and punkin, my psychiatrist today said the same thing as you guys, and she gave me "homework", which was to put a renewed effort into thinking about H less and me more ;-) She said next time he texts wait a long time before responding. Even a day. She said he is not my priority and it's not "mean" if I don't get right back to him if the issue, as it always is, is NOT an emergency.

She suggested eharmony for dating. She REALLY wants me to drop the rope ;-) She said if there is any chance at friendship, it's YEARS away from now, but she has never been one to talk about standing for the marriage or bought into the MLC stuff at all. She just says that I must act as if it is clearly over for good and come to terms with it all and move on with my life.

I think like a lot of you I'm in this place where I'm not sure I should be trying to find someone to date, because I don't know if it's self-medicating or avoiding just learning to live alone, so until I feel less conflicted about that, I'm letting it up to fate.
