WHs do come back--Piecing--acceptance & time

[RDS]

I do see a lot of posters that are too friendly in my opinion. I think the wayward loses respect for you when you do that. Be strong, have confidence, and don't slide yourself in the friend zone. It's quite simple, when someone dumps you, let them go and move on. Don't be friends with them if you don't want a friendship and to watch them date someone else. That svcks!

I'm probably in the camp that most would think I'm too friendly with my WAW. I was concerned about it too (still am frankly). I even asked my DB coach what she thought and she told me in my situation being friendly to my WAW was the correct thing to do. The last few years of our M we hardly ever spoke to one another and it was rarer when there were words of kindness in our voice; especially mine.

Both my IC and DB coach are in agreement (my IC doesn't know I had a DB coach) with the path I'm taking. My W and I may never get back together, but at least I know she won't regard me with dread or hurt when she thinks of me from now on. She seems happy and relaxed, which is good.
