Hi MrBond,

Actually, my question is kinda the opposite. I am detached. Really. I have GALed. I would be totally fine if the D happened today. I'm more emotionally aware, and in a much better place to have a long term relationship now than ever. Basically I've gotten my $hit together and while I still miss W, I'm actually happy for the first time in a long time.

I guess, what I'm saying is, I have every reason to be happy with my single life. I AM happy being single. I'm having a blast dating. I've got the start of a great life after a long time in the wilderness. So why would I risk it for another chance with W? There would be real costs (financial, career, emotional) to me if we were ever to try again. Why would I do it?

I can't figure it out. But if she were to try, so would I.
