Crimson........Winds of change blowing???

Hi Crimson,

I'm afraid I'm not the one to give advice here. I'm following your thread as a fellow divorcee who is still holding out hope that my XW will change her mind.

That said, in talking things over with my DB coach, I had imagined that this process is one of courtship all over again. In other words, would it help if you imagined her as a new woman whose affection and respect you are trying to win? What would you do then if you considered holding her hand? If you approach it this way maybe it'll make more sense to decide when it's okay to risk affection, and when it might not be a good idea.
