I like your no bs perspective on things. It's how I think when I am seeing things clearly.
That first statement about me being worried about not wanting her if she takes to long is from a place of a father feeling regret for his D and loss of family. If I am happy without her and move on you are absoloutely right her loss.
I am day by day getting better less self pity and more standing up for myself. My W chose to leave so she had to deal with whatever that brings and although I am trying to be polite I need to start shutting down the chit chat it's not helping me and I think you are right it keeps her thinking she has a foot in the door.
It's so weird that the only way it seems to get my W back in the door is by basically slamming it closed.
Anyway as always Sandi thank you very much for your perspective it just reinforces what I know is right in my head.
