Thanks BillyHo. Believe me I know the mistake I made, and its why I posted here, mentioning that I wasn't happy with what I did. I am saying that I am finding it so hard, its so difficult to believe detaching may bring her back. What I need is what you and a few other posters have just sent. I need the reality messages and they are tremendously helpful, as even now I understand I need to try harder to detach and give her space. "Drop the Rope".

Like I said earlier, 5 hours ago I was positive after finally getting the DR book and starting a plan of reading and following the exercises. Then when I got home and she gave me her news about going out, I collapsed in a blubbering heap of weakness. I KNOW this is not the way to go, but I am going to make mistakes as I try to take control of myself.

As darknes says, there has been little detachment evidence from my posts, but I am posting like I have been detached, whereas I have more likely just been distancing myself from her, which means I don't have to monitor her emotions so much, this is a different to being detached.

Guys I am learning, and I will keep posting my successes and f***ups. Hopefully overtime there will be less of them.
