I'm not clear on what she SAID her reasons for wanting out of the m are, other than OM.
[/b]Her main reason are that she was unhappy for years, she lost her feelings for me, her love died and she doesn't know how to get it back, she doesnt want to pretend, she doesn't feel hugging me, lost the attraction to me, she has no sex drive, she can't stand me touching/kissing her. I think theres more but these are all I can remember. She also mentioned our issues were not because of the OM and if we were to D she's not going to be with him because he's from another state. So I think shes hoping to find the right one similar to OM, because to her she just doesn't feel it and can't commit to the marriage.[[b] ============ II. Detachment Detachment is critical to the process of altering and repairing a relationship. Attached, we take personally all that is said, not said, done and not done. Our ego gets wounded and we say or do things that undermine our goals.
We can NOT control the actions of another. We are, however, responsible for our own actions. We are responsible for our own happiness.
If we are detached from the actions of another, we can meet anger or indifference with love.
Met with love, we are in a position to diffuse the situation and transform it in a way that will be in alignment with our goals.
On the flipside, detachment allows us to play it cool when we do get a positive reaction from our spouse. It is a way to break the distance/pursuer cycle.
Detachment is not withdrawal. It is not the mind saying, "I am not getting what I want so I must pull back."
It is the natural acceptance of the reality that "I am alone responsible for how I act. I cannot control another person, but I can control how I respond to them."
almost all of what you said about her reasons are about HER and not you.
Surely she had SOME complaints, like the one you mention later about being selfish and on your own w/your GAL things...
think about THOSE types of complaints more so you can do better 180s.
