Yes, of course. But, HOW? That's one of the reasons why I am here on this board. It's not the only reason. I need support, I need to see how others are handling things. I need to be sharing what I am doing and allowing you guys to objectively judge it and offer suggestions. I need a lot. But just as all my other goals in life require planning - reconnecting with my ex would also require planning. I'm just not sure how to make those plans. I know, or, I feel, that now is not the time - it's only been 5 or 6 months since the D. I don't know. Is it as simple as sending them an email and asking when I feel the time is right for me? I don't know. I know no one here can tell me what to do, but I can gain knowledge by how their success was handled.
