Just an update...and I'm just looking for some feedback / advice.
WAW and I went dark for a week following the whole ring-in-the-lope episode. It was both of our birthdays that week and I was out of town on work.
I sent here a pretty blunt note about how I'm leaving town for another job very shortly...and that I want to work things out...but I need her to look deep inside and reminder herself that she was once happy with me.
She found out some bad news about a VERY close relative last week, and I think that only made my note hurt even more. But something interesting happened...she admitted that all the things I said about her were true (control, poor self esteem, etc). I was really surprised by her reaction.
But she did at that I have my own problems, and that she thinks I haven't fully come to grips with them. (Probably true.) She think me going away will give her real space to think about things. She wanted me to take her advice and take the job. She said "nothing lasts forever" which I took to mean us...but she clarified by saying that being apart didn't have to be forever...just maybe for a little while.
