I was thinking about detaching and realized that I was far from detached during the 2.5 months of NC. I would think about how many days it had been everyday since we had contact. That is definitely not detached. Have to work on that. it is actually already better. The book also explains that things take a lot longer to play out in my situation. That should improve my patience.
No more mr nice guy might be next based on what I have been reading in other threads. Probably applicable too me.
