BF, you said, "He is convinced that he needs to start fresh and find himself a different partner, who will be different from me. Unfortunately, he will have to go though the discovery before he can decide whether this path is going to work for him or not."

I could be writing this about my own sitch! It's amazing how the WAS's say the same stuff to us. I'll definitely include a chapter about the WAS logic when I write my D book.

Hang in there. It's really hard, but I see how things are a little better for you. And it's OK if you feel bad again for a while. Just give yourself time.
