Hey PP, catching up on your sitch. So happy you got to spend time with your dog, and feeling your pain regarding your W.
Is she really happy? She's building a new and good life with appropriate detachment from all that was wrong with your M, and that's positive, as much as it hurts when the regret for what you could've done sets in. And you've made just some incredible changes. But she's still conflicted, still loves you, still misses you. I also think there's possibly more to your story together, as long as you continue to DB, grow, and become the man she's always wanted - but more importantly, the man you're meant to be.
It's harder, I can see, when you've made such progress with the detachment and taking care of you, to have encounters like these that fill you with regret and hope all at once. Makes things come crashing back in waves. I will keep praying for you. You're going to be fine no matter what. Hugs, Dif
