saying she misses you is different to I want to work on us.
keep on focusing on you & getting out & about. being independent will help with not pursuing & chasing.
I'm trying to keep this in perspective. I will still do all my GAL stuff, and I will still read and journal and ponder. It's just easier when there's a little hope. I didn't ask her, when she said she still needs time alone, if that includes OW. Had to pat myself on the back for that one. I just kept saying, let's take this time and focus on ourselves.
I heard loud and clear that we're not back together. I do believe that would be fatal to the R if I just started spending time with her.
It's true that I did go out to meet her, but she was standing there, and I couldn't just ignore that look. I know this will be a long process. I'm not going to give up the life I'm trying to create for myself, believe me. But if I'm optimistic or even mildly hopeful, it makes it easier to get out there and enjoy life.
And there she is walking by again, right now, to her office.
