Hello Gunny,

The single best way you can show her is to validate her decision. In other words, let her go on her journey. Don't TALK about the relationship, ACT like you are going to be fine with or with out her, and instead of resisting her CHOICE, just let go.

Work on YOU now, tomorrow, and forever. Let go of your past and promise yourself to improve on every single fault you "feel" you could have been changed.

Letting go and getting a life is the only way you will give her the gift of missing you AND the ability to forgive yourself. IF she likes what you become and sees your changes are for you and NOT to get her back, she might just comeback. You will also benefit in knowing you changed for the better, forever.

The amount of time this takes is almost exhausting. Just accept the fact that this is your unfortunate situation and pick yourself up and MOVE the opposite direction, bettering YOUR life each day, and allow time to heal all wounds.

Hang in there Gunny.
