I feel like I know I will never get back with my W now. I need to accept reality...if she cared about me she wouldn't be doing this, she would have called me on my bday, she would still want to talk to me, or see me. She doesn't want any of this, she wants me out of her life for good.
I often wonder if she is hurting at all, if this is making her sad or if she reflects on what her life has become. I feel like a failure, I will carry this stigma that I failed at marriage......I have always succeeded at everything ive done, but the most important thing in my life I failed miserably at.

I am coming to accept that this is my life now....a life that doesn't include her, a life that sees me going to the movies tonight by myself WTF!!!, sleeping in our bed alone and spending a lot of time on my own. I sense my friends think i should have moved on by now, I dont see them much anymore....it's too hard to see them happily married and having kids.....I would rather be on my own.

If only I had listened to her, then I wouldn't be in this situation. Life would be good again......as it is now, I feel I deserve everything I get. I actually dont want to contact her, I wonder where she is, what she's doing, but I don't want to speak to her, it hurts too much. Some part of me actually wants her to move back to the States and then I will never see or have to speak to her again.
