Thank you for that encouraging note ... I'm trying to do that but ... I don't think it's doing anything. I'm trying to be positive w/o being needy or pursuing in anyway. It feels like she's made up her mind -- and she's really relieved to have made up her mind and she's going to stick to it -- and she's enjoying not having to give to a relationship. She can say/do whatever she wants and be selfish and pursue her own impulses w/o considering what it means to a partner. I can see how that is free-ing to someone who has low impulse control.

I think she needs to decide what she wants out of life, out of a spouse, and I don't think she will fully understand what she wants until she's on her own w/o me.
