She gets into her regret around every corner, of how I threw her away, and I never fought for her or the M when she showed signs of giving up. I repeat every time that "I did throw her away, cos it was either me saving myself, or saving the M, and I know that i'm worth a whole lot more than an unhappy M and a disrespectful WW". Somehow, it does not sink in, perhaps the lack of care coming to the fore.
DDJ, don't overdue the detachment, if someone or something (like a dog) leaves your life you should feel some sadness, it's an emotion, but it shouldn't overwhelm you. I think only a psychopath feels no sadness, remorse, etc...
Can you expand more on the quoted piece above? It intrigues me that your WW would blame you for throwing away the M when she was the one having A's... Has she explained how she doesn't see her as throwing away the M? Does she say that she might have responded if you tried to save the M? If so, do you ever question why you didn't or think maybe you should have?
