I have completely changed my attitude and behavior since the day that she gave me the ILYBINILWY speech on 12/15/2014. Up until that point, I had grown resentful, angry, and felt disrespected. Of course, I eventually found out that she was already involved in her affair since September, which caused her to put walls up and our interactions got worse.
I have made wholesale changes in every facet of my life since 12/15/2014, and that has continued even after she filed for divorce on Jan 9 and moved out at beginning of March. I am going to IC, have a PMA, and have spent more time reconnecting with her adult children. I have only seen her twice in the last 2 months, and was pleasant, upbeat, and respectful during both interactions.
How can I gain her respect if we never see each other or have the opportunity to interact?
