too much time and distance

[any chance?]

Spent last evening with an old female friend, who has been divorced for 4 months (her choice) and is now in love with a new guy. Good for her.

Went through our whole sitch with my friend once again. Story just gets sadder it seems. Friend is convinced, as everyone else is, that W is never coming back. That W won't realize she made a mistake for a very long time, and by then it will be too late. She tells me I cannot keep hanging on to the thread, and that I am clearly still in love with my W. Yep, guilty as charged.

Isn't is bizarre that while I am going through with the D, hoping to have asset separation in a couple of weeks, with D final on 1 January for tax purposes, that I want to send W messages and an occasional goodwill package? How pathetic is that?
