at first, i would have taken him back without any changes to our relationship. now, there's a pretty significant list of things that would have to happen and frankly, i doubt he's capable.


That's where I'm at. Part of me doesn't think it's possible or doesn't think he wants to. And that's why I had to make that list to remember that I'm doing this to get him back I'm doing this to get me back. Actually I never was that ME! LOL

I think the sooner I stop having hope the better. Like you said about encouraging their selfishness I think by letting him know the door was open I just let him live in this Plan B idea of feeling sorry for me but knowing that I was there. I need to detach as much as possible. Even if it means we're "not friends" but honestly what sort of friendship do we have now?

Thank you SS for saying you like my posts LOL sometimes you feel like you post into the ether.
