Slowly we unfurl, as lotus flowers

[gr8 day 2B alive]

My plan is to not initiate any texts, but only respond if W asks how D is doing or wants a pic.

Good plan, except I would stop sending pics of D to her. the time you spend with your D is your time. All this sharing of pics is really nothing more than you staying atteched to her.

Stop the pic sending to her for a month and see how she reacts.
Has this been working for you?

I will simple back away slowly and let her have her life she has chosen.

While I build the life I chose for myself.

ore to back what I said above. She chose to leave the family life and all that goes with it. INCLUDING PICTURES OF D WHEN YOU HAVE HER!

You should only be discussing things that pertain to Ds well being.

I know it's hard, it took me awhile to get to the "point". But honestly, it's your best shot at saving your M.

Drop the rope, define your N.U.T.S. and start living your life the way you want to.
Stop being the "nice" guy. Start being a man who knows what he wants. Don't put up with people you treat you badly, starting with your W.
