Thank you! I have had my own ups and downs for sure, but I think that's just part of the process for all of us smile

For me, I just have trouble seeing the difference between detaching to the point of not caring what w does and being ready to move on.


Yeah, there's not much of a difference. There's that saying around here that "they have to learn to miss you" and they never will as long as we're waiting for them. And that is the ultimate irony, we have to quit being interested in them before they may start being interested in us again.

Right now I don’t feel like time is on my side anymore.


Well, I know that feeling. Sometimes I start thinking about my age and can get anxious about moving on, but other times I ask myself if a few more months of waiting is going to matter one way or the other. So basically I just GAL and even go out on the occasional date and just leave the D in W's hands. Maybe there will come a time that I get tired of it and push the D through myself, but for now I'm OK with life as-is.
