Here is the paradox of DB'ing that I am trying to embrace. Most of us are here because we are on the receiving end of a D or S and we WANT our spouse back. Yet, in order to meet this objective you need to stop thinking about your spouse and start focusing on yourself. It's like taking a left turn to eventually go right. Feels weird, but I am committed to it at this point.


WHAT IS RETROXAIILE? I KEEP HEARING THIS TERM!


yes yes yes^^^^!!!! BINGO!!!! You have to detach and prepare for life without them BUT with you being happy on your own


only to THEN find out that the WAS noticed you, and may start to come around...and then

THAT, imo, is when real piecing begins.

(If you can, is there a chance she'd attend Retrovaille with you? It's VERY useful.)

But yes indeed you must embrace this crazy paradox - and a bunch of ironies all combined in one...

TA DAH!!!! VOILA....

you are getting it...welcome to our world!


Rick89 - I was thinking the same thing. That is kinda how I am trying to live my life right now! smile
