Thanks Fogg, I appreciate your words. And on some level I know you are right. My W looks happier, and healthier than she ever has before. She's doing the work in the world that she wanted to do most when we were M but didn't. She's living in the town she works in and is surrounded by people she really enjoys. That just wasn't the case when she was with me.

So on a very real level, I'm happy for her. I love her and want her to be fulfilled in her life. If you were to ask me if I'd want her to come back to me and live how we lived a year ago I would say no, especially after seeing her thrive like this.

I'm not sure if it's selfish for me to be DB'ing. She doesn't want to be with me but I want to be with her. I'm better than I've ever been before and she's better than she's ever been before.

Is it selfish then to want to create a new relationship with two people who clearly still love and care for each other and are now infinitely better off than they were when they were together? It's really a tough call since we didn't do it the first time around.

I'm going to keep moving forward. I am.

Thanks Fogg,

PP
