I hear you, Wonka. My coach today suggested I go a little lighter, though... not to be too present or accessible, but to begin to do the things that will attract her back, to be unpredictable, combined with the friendly neighbor approach. I am afraid if I go totally dark, it will only speed things along in the direction of divorce. I've been pretty dark and angry lately, and it's not helped things, I don't think.
I have ramped up my GAL activities, but I have to say, for someone who prefers to stay home more evenings than not, this is going to wear me out! But I will for sure avoid all conversations about the OW. Will act like she doesn't exist. Thanks for your insights.
