Stimulus-Response: The Experiment Continues

[BrightFuture]

GGG, I get this all the time from my friends when I feel sad, or look sad, or say that I’m sad. One of my GF’s went through D herself and just recently considered a crazy idea to reconnect with her XH, who is re-married BTW and who treated her like a piece of sh!t before and continues to do it. Even then she keeps telling me this words: “how long are going to be practicing masochism and inflict the pain on yourself, you need to get it over with by divorcing him”.

My other friends ask me if have a boyfriend already every time I see them. I just laugh at that, but I really starting to irritate me. I think I’m finally ready to tell them to back off.

I’m on the same page as you. I want my H to find a courage to file for D (he hasn’t even filed yet), if this is what he wants. And I’m not going to make it easy for him.

I simply keeping the door open should he decide to walk through it a better man and a better husband.

These are the exact thoughts I’ve been having recently. Even though I’m my hope for that is rapidly dwindling.

You are handing this very well. I love to read your posts. You have such in insight and a great ability to express your thoughts and feelings.
