But you're right, she's seen 1,000 people get to the 6 month mark like I have and go back in headfirst.


That may work in your favor in the long run. Since your changing for you and not her, those changes will continue.

You say shes seen so many go back and backslide on those changes after the 6 month mark. That means she understands how difficult it can be. As time goes by and she continues to see those changes sticking they could prove to her how much effort you really are putting in to change yourself.

Detaching is difficult, but something you have to keep practicing and doing. Its separating yourself from the outcome of whats happening. You don't want to be too focused on only getting her back, but at the same time you don't want to stray to the other side and focus on not wanting her back at all. Avoid those actions that will push you too far either way and focus on your journey. Just keep moving forward and face what happens as it happens.


Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
