I know what you mean and DBing is never really over, I mean it coul dbe, but there is a lot you can apply in other realtionships no matter who with.
My old marriage was over as well. And while I am still married to my wife, it is a new marriage, and it had to be.
Who knows what tomorrow or the next day will ultimately bring...is that what you meant?
Yes this is what I mean. For me hanging on to slim hopes means not detaching. It's either hang on or move on. That doesn't mean I've closed the door. I just can't stand there holding it open for someone I don't even know anymore. I don't desire the present version of W or a return to the troubled M we had. So yes, everything has to be new.
