Dealing with the reality of separation

[PeteWyo]

The point being I don't think I can count on her remembering ANYTHING we've talked about.

I feel this exact way sometimes. I remember all of the things that she said over the last 4 months that were encouraging, like "even when I wasn't happy, you were still really good to me", and "I think we just had a whole lot of misunderstandings" and "You really are a great man." But I don't think she remembers saying those things. Not my job to remind her though. If she really does feel that way then those feelings are inside of her somewhere. All there is to do is sit back and let it play out I guess. Patience is one elusive virtue...
