Yea take it easy man. It might take a while. When my wife left in 2009 for 6 months, it sunk in big time 4 weeks after she left.

One thing that i do look forward to is talking to my daughter every other day. It keeps my world from falling apart.

yea seems like your W still is angry about your issues. I dont recall, but are you guys on the D path?

See our D might be finalized in a week or so and my W still complains about my attitudes about money. I guess somethings are never let go.



She wants a divorce in June, I think.

My feelings about spouses who still lament or complain or cry about what they don't like about us are:

A. They still haven't mourned or gotten over their own guilt.
B. They still are not sure of their decisions, even after the fact, like in a case of a divorce.
C. Certain people tend to hold grudges longer than others.
D. Some spouses had developed a mother-son relationship.

Like MWD said in her book, as well as other authors -- it's good when the spouse complains or criticizes or nags, because at some level they still care about the relationship. It's when they stop doing it altogether when you need to start worrying. I'm not sure if this rule applies to after a spouse who walks away, but I'd like to think that.
