Thanks Zues! Hope things are well with you! Yes, I admit, I do still hope she will come back but it's not the same as those first few months where it seemed like in order to survive she had to. Now I've gotten used to my life as it is...not great...but not horrible either. I feel I get stronger every day I get through without her...but not a day goes by where I don't think of her and wonder if one day she will come back. I just don't obsess about it anymore. I mean I do still have bad days where I cry but I've gotten used to it. I let her think I've moved on...and don't get me wrong, I really have, but as you say things still linger...I mean 18 years is a long time to be with her. In any event I have a feeling she will be moving back home soon...based on my update info above. Until then, any chance we have of R is tiny. So I basically hope for it, but don't dwell on it...if that makes any sense.
