Are you getting tired yet of having the success or failure of your day depend almost solely on the reactions, actions, words, or lack thereof of another person that you seemingly have no influence with?
Seriously...
You can only affect you. You can only change you. You are responsible for your own happiness. You have no control over another person.
So why do you keep living like those statements are untrue? Why do you give one good damn what she does, doesn't do, says, or doesnt say right now?
Has she not made herself clear? You know, part of the reason these walk away spouses get so angry with us is that our actions and words make it clear the WE ARENT HEARING THEM! She moved out. She does not want to be married right now. She wants to see if someone else can make her feel good about herself.
She has no reason to believe 1). That you care what she thinks or feels 2). That you will actually cut the cord with her
The result is what you've got - a cake-eating spouse, living a new life potentially on your dime, and you frozen in time, paralyzed and unable to move on with your life.
There's nothing for her to run back to.
Are you tired of this yet?
Blessings, Bill
