This comes to me all the time. My H is gone. He is doing whatever he wants, and he doesn't care one whit about what I am doing, how or why. And I have no control over that. I accept that is reality. But I don't view that as letting go. I still love him. His actions and words still affect me.

I am doing all the things you suggested . . . moving forward with my life, and letting him do his thing.

It's just that everyone keeps telling me to let him go and I don't know what that means.
