I have been trying to detach. We still live in the same house and its quite small so sometimes its hard to ignore him. But I have been focusing on myself more - exercising once (sometimes twice) a day whereas before it would be a challenge to even exercise a few times a week. I like writing so I have been doing that more. The hardest part, that makes me so upset is when I hear his phone ding and I know its a women he's chatting or sexting. I try really, really hard to ignore it and I go into another room so he doesn't think it bothers me. I really hope detaching works - its only been about 4 days of trying this. I do not text him during the day except if he texts first and just answer what question he asks. I know I should go out more with family and friends but we are both introverts and like our space after work. Any more tips. I really hope this isn't a lost cause. I guess in worst case - Ive learned more about myself and this technique helps me to move on and be more confident in myself
