By the time that I got through the "plan A" part of things, I found that I was truly comfortable being DONE. I no longer felt guilt about how I had treated W during our M/R because I felt that I had done everything that I could to make amends and to show her that I was NOT the person who had treated her poorly.
I was fine with either outcome.
When you get there... you know that you are going to be okay.
BINGO.

Ahh!!! The infamous ACCEPTANCE stage!!
I too have hit the ACCEPTANCE stage, although I still bounce back to the Anger & Depression stage once in awhile. I do not believe though, that you have to lose hope when you hit the Acceptance stage like all of the experts say! I believe that my Acceptance stage, is when I truly have learned what "Let Go & Let God" means.
But make no mistake, as Denver & Starsky will tell you: You will still bounce around a bit. I still firmly want Marriage Restoration & my W back, but not if it means going back to the same old things like before.
My 2 cents, although I haven't been on the board very long
