Thanks for the kick in the pants, I greatly appreciate your feedback :-). I agree that none of the past matters these days, especially to her. To me however, I have to keep in mind, what her future behaviors could be, based on her behaviors of the past, just like she is doing with me. I have just as big a decision to make in the matter as she does, to determine what's best for me in the long run, since she decided to bounce. She certainly has no concern for what I'm doing.
As for now I'm totally detaching. How I will be able to stop dwelling on the past during this process remains to be seen. My mindset is that they no longer exist and I am moving on with my life, as a single man. So she's not really going to have the opporunity to see anything that I'm doing or changing, and that's fine by me. Maybe she will reach out to me or maybe she won't. I can honestly for the first time say I don't care at this point. And if she said she want's a divorce in August today I would say I am in full agreement with her.
So I guess I'm in a good spot in that I really don't care anymore. I'm going to be the best man I can be for me and prepare myself for any future R opportunity that may present themselves. In the meantime she can go sandwich the OM and his brother if he has one for all I care, honestly lol.
I finally feel like I am where I need to be. If she starts coming back to me one way or the other I will cross that bridge if I come to it, in the meantime I honestly don't care if she does or not.
I'm traveling the next two weekends for pleasure and am in the process of booking golf trips with my boys. GAL has always been my speciality, and it's on like a pot of neck bones...
Thanks again for your feedback it's greatly appreciated!
