Gunny: As per usual, our situations are quite similar. Is it possible that your W, who was in a deep freeze as you say, is in the process of a 'deep thaw'? I have no idea what is happening with my xW, but I do not that she has been contacting me more, leaning on me for help/advice, and actually called my mother on Easter. WTF? I am helping her with an upcoming job interview for a 6 month gig, which seems to be exactly what she needs. After that, who knows where her head will be at?
I think 'throwing away' is just not right. You have not thrown her away, nor have I. While I am not paralyzed waiting for her to change her mind, I am also in this for the long haul. Even if she never returns, which she probably will not, the love and devotion I have always felt with her will remain. I don't think you can throw something like that away.
Hang in there.
