The text wishing her good luck was fine. You would wish ANYONE in that situation the same, and besides, you DO have an investment in her success.


OK 25, you asked for it. Time to play devils advocate! wink

ANYONE?

Really?

Even someone who has chosen to remove you from their life?

Someone, who through their actions have said, I want to live my life without you?

Can you think of someone in your life who you know, but would not send this message?

Is it respecting their decision if you then push yourself back into their lives?

Is it the "high road?"

Like I said, I think it was "fine" as well. I can't see it helping or hurting the sitch.

But I also tend to believe, through experience, that doing so, with TRULY no expectations is tough. If it CAN be done. No harm no foul. However, if it cannot, which I believe at some level is usually the case (not saying a big deal, but something), then it is ultimately a step back for the LBS.

Because for them, even if we are just talking about a few second disappointment here, they have once again looked to their WAS, expected something back, and didn't receive it.

REALLY moving forward, may mean letting these things go.

IMVHO, just the thought of hoping they do well, is more loving, than wanting to say it with hopes of something in return.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
