I'm not sure why this would be a negative. Whether she's truly happy or not, wouldn't you want her to be content?
I dont have an answer for that, I suppose so

I think this might be my first 2x4 smile Don't do it! Catching up is great, it keeps the road home smooth. Talking about your changes or bringing up R in any way, shape or form, no no no! Actions, not words.

I think this is for me, I want to know I suppose that do I now move on with my life or see if there is something there to work at. I wont bring up that I have changed back to the "true" me. The problem I have is as I posted, she is so stubburn and proud she will not show her emotions or her position untill I have, this has always been the case in these situations

Is this your frustration talking or where you truly are on this journey? BTW, it's great that you recognize you each have your own paths to follow, but I'm not certain you have the detachment down yet.

I know I dont have the detatchment "done" yet, but I feel I have come on a bit since this all started, and I really feel that if I dont see any sign I need to "drop the rope" and delete her from fb. I need to do this for ME, I have had so many ups and downs this week trying to think of the best way of approaching things, what do you think about deleting her from fb?

Just have a relaxed, casual time tonight. No pressure, no expectations and again NO R talk.


Thanks again LP
