SailingAlone, I too worry that the W sees changes in me and then states/ackowledges that I therefore am better because I am not with her. My wife stated this at the original BD, you are not happy with me, therefore you should be happy without me. So I would like to see what answers the others can give us. I certainly accept going back to begging/pleading is not the way, just the worry that I am showing how much she didn't mean to me by being better.
