Thorn,

Newbies here have this mistaken notion that if they don't care about the WAS, that they've 'moved on.' Not true.

When one moves on, it is when their thoughts, feelings, actions are not tied to the WAS. For me, 10 years on, I think MUCH less of Ms. Wonka and only wish her well. I've dated, moved, changed jobs, bought a new car, etc. So in due course, you'll be at that place whether you reconcile with W or not.

Time is a great friend to have on your side. What one makes of it is entirely within their control. See?

You can be friendly to W without being best buds at this stage and it shows through your recent text exchange. I think it is just right...not too cold, not too hot. smile Goldilocks is happy.
