Good points, Matt. I don't think I'm pushing her away, and I think her being left alone with her thoughts is a byproduct of the detachment, not something I am actively trying to make happen.
As for not caring what she's doing... eh. I can't help it, but I do care. I mean, again... this is all so raw and fresh. I can't help but be stung knowing what she's doing with the OW. Since 90% of the time she's gone these days that's who she's with, I REALLY have to focus on GAL in order to try and put it out of my mind. Like right at this moment...
But again... thanks for the encouragement.
