Thanks Moose, i reviewed a lot more post today including yours and see a lot of similarities and can relate to the feelings and the hurt. I've spent a fair amount of time trying to grasp what has worked for some and what hasn't, there should almost be a post on do's and dont's.
My last contact with W was 2 days ago where she sent me a friendly text at the hockey game we were both at saying she'd buy me and my buddy a beer when she won the 50/50. Since then nothing, Patience, no matter how hard and how many thoughts go through my head i will not contact her, that is my goal for now, try and go dark for a while. I will let her initiate the contact and go from there, but do i respond openly to her contact (if it comes) or keep it short and to the point?
I got my order confirmation for DR today and they shipped it this afternoon, perhaps by the weekend i'll be able to take advantage of the advice and guidance most of the posters on this form have.
I see a light at the end of the tunnel where W is still 50/50 on the fence on whether we will work or not, even after all my pressure and previous pursuits. Until W tells me there is no love and its over, then there is hope.
I watched the video on WAW, made me tear up a little and it made perfect sense and i felt a HUGE connection. I almost wish the W would see it. I'm not sure if asking her to watch it would be too much pressure and push her away? Any advice on this issue, should I or shouldn't I mention this now or in the future? I just feel like if she realized this is for real, and she got through, then our R would be back and stronger than ever.
For now, its one day at a time, resist initiating contact, and patience... thanks for reading my ramble.
