Thank you for such kind words kiwi. I think I'm through trying to fake it. I really want to be ok regardless of what happens and I just have to go through it instead of skating around. It's the worst as you and everyone else knows here. But you have a good point, faking the attributes of detachment is helping us to get to the actual detachment. In addition to GALing.
I actually dont think I have any cement boundaries in place with H b/c we don't have kids and haven't been having a lot of interaction so I haven't had the opportunity to even set boundaries for myself/him. The thought has always been on my mind though, just wondering what that looks like in my particular sitch.
