I read someone's post about keeping the road back to the marriage smoothly paved. What does that mean? For my own emotional health, I'm thinking I shouldn't keep anything paved smooth; but rather I should burn all my emotional bridges so that I don't fool myself, that I clearly move on.
Welcome to the other side, Gump.
To me, that means that while you are traveling down your own road, make sure that you make yours inviting to her and not closed off. I'm afraid that maybe I did just that in mine by getting what I did in the divorce. Oh well, lessons learned.
Sometimes you just have to burn some bridges to create distance.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
