I'm trying to stay active/busy. My WAW and I have no contact other than an occasional text regarding practical matters. I know that she'll be reaching out soon, as we need to work on a settlement (she's been emphatic about getting this over with as soon as possible).
It's quite a challenge balancing the emotional (hoping for R) and the current reality of the situation/"D". Friends/family around me are adamant about "protecting" myself and not letting her get whatever she wants. I'm working on the weight of these issues not overwhelming me emotionally.
There are good/bad moments throughout the day. It's particularly hard at times when I'm going through the house as it is a constant reminder of our R.
As you and several other folks have mentioned, I need to focus on myself and GAL. It's a struggle at times, but I'm hanging in there.
