You could text W and let her know you'd like to drop off a card and see D, and ask when a good time would be. Then hopefully D will be all over you when you see her, and you'll have a super great gift for her that she LOVES. (Let's see what might be better than money...)And you focus all your love on her. Then leave.

Hi thornton. Just stopping by to see how you're doing. I think NYGal is onto something good.

Hey Thornton. I have been reading a bunch of stuff today from older stories on the board. Yours was one of them. Man you really DB'ed the hell out of her the first time around a few years back. I really got a lot of encouragement reading yours and others success stories. Keep your chin up, I truly believe you'll turn this ship back around heading in the right direction. I just believe it may take a little more time.

I think the e-card was a good in-between Thornton. I vacillate back and forth even in my own stitch about responding to texts however. I almost think it would have been better IMHO to not have responded to her text. After all the intent was to let your/her D know that you were thinking about her on her BDay and not your W.
It's going to be hard again I think because I don't know how long until the next communication will be from W, but leave it in her court. I find that it is almost worse when we do hear from them, because it is never anything that we want to hear, more often just empty communication.

I really struggled this weekend with missing W and missing D's bday party but was able to pull out of my funk.
I know this is a marathon and not a sprint, so I'll refocus my efforts on GAL and my goals in the gym. BTW, I've regained the 14 pounds I lost after bomb so I'm feeling really good about that!
