Practical tips.

1. Read this http://www.divorcebusting.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2538414#Post2538414

2. Discontinue thinking about how any action or decision you make affect your W.

3. Discontinue posting about things that you are doing and how it affects your W. If you are posting about it, then you are thinking about it. See tip #2

4. Search for additional material on tips for detaching.

And yes, I agree bigy, that truly detaching is a difficult task. Time is our gift for this and knowledge is the start, action will move us closer, and then finally that little thread that has us connected will finally break.

Until then my friend, hopefully these practical tips can get you on your way.


I agree with this, especially #3.

I'm not saying to stop posting about what your are doing to GAL, but any time you find yourself typing "W," stop and consider whether you are about to say how you think she is responding to or noticing what you have done. And then don't type that part.

The important thing is what you think about what you are doing.
