Thanks Jack, I was hoping for your insight one of these days!
I know that doesn't work, nothing has to date. It's just so hard and frustrating when my W talks to me and cries or calls me 'baby' and I start asking her if this is what she really wants and why are we doing this. Maybe if she was a complete bitch to me, nasty and horrible then this would be a lot easier. Yesterday when we spoke I was all ok and being forthright and asking her what she wants to do.....but as soon as she sounds sad and messed up, I chase. I know it's all wrong.....and my DB coach would yell at me again.
I think if I have a give up mentality then it may help me detach and act as if it's all over anyway and see where that takes me. Who knows.
