thanks for the insights. I texted my Wife a picture of our S 12 about the take the Ice for his hockey game yesterday. I told her, I am proud of him and wanted to share the moment so she could see it too. I don't think that is pursuit. Just living life.

She seems wounded and stubborn. not a good combination. I told her that I'm moving forward with my life, but feel the power of hope in the good parts of the life we had created.

I know now that what I am learning will be used going forward. I will have a partner who is emotionally and physically available, who is open and honest and values time with me. W gets first choice for now if she wants that. if not, at some point, I'll pursue it another way. make sense to think like that?
