Beatrice,

I appreciate what you wrote about "sunk costs". I have felt all along that I didn't want to date after the bomb and D because I was still healing. Now that I feel I have identified a number of important things about myself that I needed to change and am working on changing them........ and have done a lot of healing.....and I feel that I've done everything I could possibly do to repair R with my XH, I know that I am ready to move on if nothing happens by my self-imposed deadline.

The concept of "sunk costs' is a good one of which to be reminded. Thank you.
