I had a good day yesterday - not b/c my situation has changed but b/c I know what I need to do. Thanks to everyone who is here offering good advice - surprising how many of us men are in this situation, and how many women this affects too.
Little steps:
I did not mention ANYTHING about boss' email, and for some reason am not the least bit tempted to check Ws texts. I sort of accept she's in an EA at least - using the time to get myself back together. Walked dog with W and it was quiet - I didn't ask about her day or try to get any information - just enjoyed the sun, even though she is distant. [edited by dbmod: advertising/not recommended]Resisted temptation to get friends opinion on this - when/if this all passes I want these people to be friends with W too.
Trying to prepare for next for weeks - expecting LYBNILWY talk soon.
TRYING TO FIGURE out a 180 something that gets Ws attention - something surprising. Not sure what that is. I might actually encourage her to go on an optional upcoming work trip - that would blow her mind. But not sure I'm quite THAT strong yet.
