I'm not saying having hope is wrong. Hope alone is a great thing. A great motivator.

But I find that hope with expectations is something else. Hoping situation A will turn into situation B and expect it as so. When the day comes, it became situation C. It wears you down after sometime.

I felt much better once I have drop all expectations of XW changing her mind. I have accepted my situation for what it is TODAY.
