Kind of in a quandry here.

STBX visited for 10 days about 10 days ago. We had a good time, lots of interaction, lots of talk from her about 'feeling normal', 'best friend', 'questioning decisions' etc. Some tears at critical moments. No physical interaction at all, and I was very careful to not pursue and just be my new improved self. She is weaning off her AD drugs, and says she is thinking much more clearly these days.

Almost no contact with her since she left and went back to her new state. She is involved with OM, says they are 'compatible". Who knows what to think?

I am struggling with whether I should contact her occasionally or not. Do I just stay dark? Or do I drop a text or email once in a while?

I have no expectations. The door is open a tiny crack, but the ball is firmly in her court.

When do I just give up and write the whole thing off?

Thanks for listening.
