So I've been doing a lot of reading on EA and my Passive Aggressive behaviors.
Did that help you? I have read about them too and it hurt. Reading about PAB and learning how to change you can change, well that is good.

Some mind reading and good job on the no contact, it's hard!

I think this is a statement most of us can say. Learn from what you feel you have done and find a positive solution for next time you come to each of those bridges.

Mind reading. Does it matter that she hasn't voiced this?

Having hope is something you have to decide for yourself. Is it what you want or not. Having hope is not a bad thing as long as you can keep moving forward with yourself and be OK with yourself. Comment on getting GF sounds like something she is saying to allow her to feel more justified doing what she is doing.

All I asked was for her to mail the keys to the house back and look for a jacket at her moms that I left there. She said she was having her lawyer draft the property settlement agreement 2 weeks ago. Still haven't heard from her on that.
I fall into this also, I allow myself to be there and do things for my W. It is my choice and I am the one who needs to decide if I feel am being used or not. So my thought is you need to decide if you feel used, then stop. Also if you stop being there and helping her all the time, it may allow her to start to see that you may not always be there for and that she can't have it both ways. I too am working with this on my sitch.

That is another decision that only you can make. I have changed my thoughts on what my limits were and it sure is hard!
You can keep hope and keep the door open as long as you want. You also need to make sure that you put yourself first and allow yourself to grow and find happiness, regardless of the outcome.
My biggest challenge is finding out who I am and loving myself enough to be OK without my W, regardless of the outcome.
Give it some thought, there is no rush.
