I am in line with your thoughts. I want my W back I want what we had but I do not need it. I will be ok no matter what happens between us and life will go on for me.
I still feel love from my W even now but she is almost choosing not to see it or putting effort in to not wanting to see it. I am willing to see what happens and if my W wants to work things out great but I am not waiting around for her to come back I am working on myself and when I truly feel I am ready to move on (and I don't mean straight into a full on relationship) I will do what I feel is right.
Just like you said RSG I think it takes to the point they can see we are moving on before they realize what's going on and it seems from what I have seen so many cases by the time they realize and want back in it's too late.
I have friends that have been through exactly this and he rolls end up reversed one of my best friends mum walked out on his dad because she wanted fun blah blah all the reasons they think they want and then years down the track she was begging him to come back to her but he was happy with someone else. She now lives a boring single life regretting everyday the decision she made and he is happily re married.
Just one example but such a tragedy really.
