Looking to keep hope alive

[ALF213]

Thanks for the advice, IS. I am really struggling with this.

Since there had been no D talk in a few weeks, and I was getting into a good DBing groove for the first time, I felt like I was making some progress. Our interactions were better and she was opening up a little. While I knew this day was probably coming (her confirming she wants a divorce), it hurts more than I thought. I am clearly not detached. I don't even feel like I am close.
