yes my H went on a date and he is still seeing her. His first date after we split is now someone he's in a R with.
But it wasn't that because I didn't put much weight in that. He started taking care of himself, was lighter/happier, he wasn't including me in his plans, stopped texting me randomly, he was more all business. It's very very hard to explain but there was a definite switch in him from wanting my approval to being his own person.
which why MWD says Act as If and detach and set boundaries, focus on you, do a 180 and then you'll become your own person and you'll be happy from within and they'll notice that.
When she said that about other women you said have said I agree and I would hope you would do the same thing.
