Yes, you have left a few comments to my post....all good, and all appreciated! I will try to get back and do a mini search to the HW you are referring to, as I'm not recalling most of it. I do know that my situation was and is a bit more unique, in the sense that there aren't any ties that keep us (my ex and I) in any sort of regular contact. That being said, I know that I tended to skim thru some of the readings/postings for things that I felt directly were related to bridging that gap for reconciliation. Funny thing was that I always felt that the relationship that my ex was in was so fittingly convenient in the way that it wouldn't produce any real or major conflicts until they moved in together....hhmmm, excuse my mind reading here but maybe after 3 months of cohabitation has produced a few real life relationship issues.
I think that there is a strong indicator that my ex has a little "MLC" going on....and of course I am in the "WAS" situation, as I am the "LBS" still holding on to the hope that someday my marriage will be healed. I have come a long way in what seems a short time....but in reality I will be coming up on 2 years post divorce the end of the summer.... So far I have been following the following outline....as well as turning more over to God and prayer. 1. Give her space and respect her privacy ( Agree to divorce the old marriage) 2. Recover emotionally (GAL, getting back on my feet) 3. Take time to reflect how you contributed to the divorce ( List and address my spouse's complaints) 4. Be the person she married in the first place (or better...lol) 5. Make the effort to look and feel my best Cleaning up my life.....and hope to reconnect from a position of strength.
I'm still and probably always will be a work in progress....but I know I am always improving, and striving to do so. Becoming the best "me" I can be...
So, I will try to find your HW page again, do a little tune up....continue to pop in ask for guidance, suggestions and support....
Thanks again....
