Thank you, AS. You always have something positive to add, to bring me back to reality.
I guess I will never understand W's reasoning for leaving the relationship. She seems very calculated and decisive. She doesn't seem to be acting out of emotion at all. I need to just let it go I guess. She has made her decision.
I will be pulling back more and more. I haven't been doing that, because I truly wanted to save this marriage, or at very least give it a second chance. I am just now beginning to realize that is never going to happen, and therefore I must change the focus to the life ahead of me. I can't keep putting my hope in the possibility that wife will come back. She isn't coming back. I will be amicable with her. I owe that to my daughter, but I will have to remove myself from her contact. I haven't been doing that, because I did not want to come off as cold and distant. unfortunately, I think that is going to be my only way to save myself. I think I just need to start blowing her off and pushing her away....far away. I need to end it.
