Congrats on the going dark but try not to say too much about this that makes you look weak. That wasnt too bad but saying you lost the battle might not have been the best choice of words.
Just try and seem upbeat and positve, especially around her friends and coworkers. If they have to report anything back to her make them say things like:
" Just bumped in to BTM and he looks great and happy. "
Let her wonder and feel that you have really moved on.
