My old thread: http://www.divorcebusting.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2177971&page=11

Time to start a new thread, as the world is different now. Spent the weekend loading W's UHaul. W was very anxious all week, saying goodbye to friends, getting ready for the move. Now she is gone.

Now I am in limbo. The D papers W filed in May have expired, so nothing legal has been done. We have not split funds, but she took everything she owns with her. W maintains she needs to move to heal herself and reevaluate life. Says she has no idea what the future holds. I don't think she is coming back, and certainly cannot mope around waiting for her to return.

I am leaving contact up to her. She will soon be living a new life 1500 miles away. I hope she is able to get her head on straight. I don't know if or when reality will hit her. Part of me says she is just done with me and our M and that I should close the door and move on. I definately took the high road in helping her with her transition. Keep the road home smooth as folks here say.

Reality is sinking in here in this big empty house. I am alone. My head is spinning. I need to shake myself and get on with life and start moving toward my goals. I need to GAL. I cannot let the depression suck me in.

Am told time is on my side. The distance is a problem. Out of sight, out of mind. I think I need to accept reality. She is not coming back.
