So maybe it's time to start saying 'no' to any kind of meeting?

So can you block or unfriend her? Get her name off of your list. And especially get OM's name off.

I feel like she should be called out on her [censored], that's she's being so disrespectful I have to tell her. I'm not in love with her anymore. I Don't even LIKE the person she is right now. I realize it's useless and counterproductive, but stepping on feelings right now is so damn hard.

I think hope is good. I think it is a good instigator of change. But the best thing you can do is leave her alone. She isnt interested in you as a husband right now, so stop trying to do that job right now. Keep your focus on you, not on the things in blue above. Those dont matter right now.

So its up to you whether you want to stay sick or become healthy. Either way is going to be hard. Do you want to be sick or healthy at the end of it?
