I just picked up a skipping rope and cardio training starts on Monday with the strength work out.


There are quite a few guys at the gym that skip rope in between their sets. Since I play basketball 3 days a week I don't much on my lifting days outside of a brisk walk on the treadmill at the end.

I think it's to give the LBS a serious break to gain some mental and emotional sanity. Also you've already put yourself out there and she's said no.


That is why I have no regrets about doing it. Getting out of her swim lane really helped my sanity, strength and confidence. She just never pulled closer or showed a interest. I am ok with that.

I also don't try to see it as her loss or think about her having regrets. That very well might never happen and she could be the happiest she has ever been. Thinking about her having regrets, etc. is all about pumping up my ego and I don't need that. People change, it is what it is.

But they don't and for them the loss will be something else and come on their timeline. So, best to just let go and drop the rope.


I agree, you never know what that loss will be, when it will happen or even if it will happen. We can't worry about it. If my W experiences regret or that WTF did I do moment it more than likely will have nothing to do with me, it won't occur until after the D is over and by that time it will probably be too late.

IMO most of the WAW are going to have to experience OM before this happens.

Even if I get in a R, I have to be responsible for my own goals and happiness and I will never outsource any of that to someone else.


I agree
