Over the last few weeks I realized that I had a lot of gut instinct feelings that something was wrong in the relationship for a few months before BD. I found some journaling I did in January that basically predicted exactly what happened down to every last detail! Scary. At the same time BD was a huge surprise. Odd.

But now I have the gut instinct that he will try to come back. Not now, not tomorrow, but someday. I'm not sure if I will still be around, or if it would work out. I just have this gut feeling that although he says he is done, he is still on the fence and one day will realize he made a mistake. I honestly have no evidence that this is true but my gut instinct is often right. Anyone else have this experience? Or is it just denial?

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I'm trying to line up some dates thanks to pilot. haha.
Hugs, LisaB


What you are experiencing is your confidence coming back. I have experienced this as well recently regarding my W and my situation. I am also fairly certain should my M end up in D, my wife will have regrets. My confidence comes from a history of nearly all my previous gfs tell me they wish we had stayed together. Her family tells her this, our mutual friends tell her this, and I am sure given her actions not matching her words, she has probably at least considered this. I know that even with all my faults, I stack up pretty well against the mob out there.

Getting that confidence back is key for you Lisa, in any relationship. If you do not have that sense of self worth, no one else is going to give it to you. Now get out there and break some hearts...especially the guy you gave a ring to.
