Hi Sandi2,

Interesting point that you make about temp checks. I am not sure how to make her fell she is losing me or if she even cares to be honest.

How does one stay positive and upbeat when interacting, but make them feel they are losing? I don't tell her she looks nice, been weeks since last ILY, I don't contact unless about kids. I am trying to go dark, but must be doing something wrong. I guess when she does text me about kids, we do sway a few text back and forth but this is very rare. Should I just respond at the absolute minimum or not reply unless absolutely necessary since she gets a read receipt when texts are read(rule 35- I guess having a back and forth is probably not following even though it is about kids, if not necessary I probably shouldn't send it.)

Do you think that a typical WW still wants the safety net of knowing that I am still available even if she is adamant about getting a D and claims to be about to file? I keep telling myself believe nothing that she says and 1/2 of what she does. Easier for me to not believe it when it is something positive, but the negatives I take as an absolute certainty. I think it helps me with detaching.

THIS IS SO HARD!!

Thanks for all the support and guidance, you have no idea how much this means to me.
