What hasn't seemed to work this time round: -Going dark: Based on the few conversation we have had, I feel like I waited too long. -Asking her to reconsider her decision that we are done. -The long distance. -Backtracking on the ultimatum on honesty about the EA. -Feeling sorry for myself.
What didn't work before the separation: -Being emotionally reactive: Specifically, when discovering EA. -Focusing too much on apologizing. -The long distance. -Snooping. -Trying different approaches without allowing for time to see the results. -Telling certain friends who saw divorce as the best option. -Feeling sorry for myself.
