as a follow up...and to expand a bit further on the contact I mention above. I have always tried to respect her wishes for space, never really pushing back very hard, but as it turns out in the past 3 months I have reached out to her in a very minimal way to offer a gesture of friendship. I know that it was the opposite (on my list of 180's) of what I should have done, but does anyone really think that I have already wrecked any possible future contacts from her way? True love is wanting only the best for her....and I do...even if it hurts that she is able to move on to another relationship. I realize that the kids are fine with their mother, but wonder about how much they might miss or think of me?
