She wants me to make things harder on H, not offering to help him out when he's in a jam or doing things for him. She wants him to experience what life will really be like if he divorces me. [/quote}
Your MIL seems to have an intuitive sense of what DB'ing is all about. Listen to her.
[quote]Yet, I'm the one who never wanted to go out and have fun. I just didn't want to go out with his guy friends all the time and wanted time with just the two of us or couples.
There is nothing wrong with you wanting to spend time with your H and not his guy friends. There just has to be a balance. And the scales really should be tilted in your favor. You were his W after all. It is important for you to remember this for your next R whether it is with your H or someone more deserving.

Except Wednesday, when he hung out with me, I realized he's spent time with her every day this week. And when things are going well, he doesn't feel the need to contact me. At this point, she still doesn't want to date him, but he's interested in her, so I'm just a side note.
Two weeks until the house is sold and we can go our separate ways. We'll have nothing except a cell phone bill and possible car insurance to deal with.
If he wants to contact me, he can make the effort. I'm done pursuing. I need to drop the rope.
Yes, I'd say it is time to drop that rope. I know it is not easy. There is a lot of pain and anger and loneliness in doing so. But for your own emotional good, you need to do it.
