Epilogue..................

[2stepboogie]

It seems like you have not yet dropped the proverbial 'rope'.

Actually Karma, I am not really sure what that even means at this point. I am not holding on to anything, as a matter of fact I have done well in moving on but to think that I have become indifferent to anything that is said or done I just don't feel is reasonable. At one point the contact was 50/50 then is shifted to 80/20 now it is 100/0. I am not holding on to any rope.

But at this point it looks like your X has moved on.

I don't see it that way at all. If that were the case I would not be having this conversation with you right now. I see it quit differently.

But this shouldn't take one of your 2 hour conversations.

I agree country, 100%. Unless I flat out hang up on her I fear that it will though.

I know you feel she led you on. Purposefully. But if you say you do not want contact, but then continue to engage her. You are doing the same thing. Actions not consistent with words.

partly is my fault but I usually do not tell her or do something and back away. Everything I have said, I have done. Knowing when to do it is key. Let me be clear. I need to know the reason for the contact because if it is to maintain some sort of friendship then that will nto work for me.

This could be completed in one simple statement...

Reality is much different than a post. In theory you are right country, but it will not be that cut and dry......it never is

I've been following 2Steps situation for awhile and I can't agree that it seems like his wife has moved on.

I understand why he might feel as though she continues to try to keep him on a string 'just in case'. I can also understand how frustrating that can be.

2step, I hope when you do speak to your X you are able to manage your understandable irritation and ask her as calmly as possible "What is it that you want from me at this point? Being your long distance friend isn't working for me and I'm wondering what's in it for you.". I hope things work out for you the way you want.

Exactly.

Count, you posted on Denver's thread only twice awhile back and I thought in a short but precise manner you made your point very clearly. I admired your insight and thoughtfulness.

I wanted to thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, as you did before you nailed my thought on this.

I do hope you stop by again and I appreciate your candor.
