Some good points here. Those here that are familiar with my story might understand a bit more but the reason for our divorce was mainly two things, she lost her identity trying to constantly please me...and I didn't have enough sense to notice that and change it before things went bad. However I think our problems were very fixable...since I was the main problem. I recognize my issues so much more clearly now but somehow I was totally blind to it back then. This plus constant, serious, financial issues made her just snap one day which eventually led to her leaving me after almost 20 years.
Obviously my story has much more detail to it but that's already documented here in 5 or 6 threads...so I summarized it above.
Yes, I'd love to see an R because I truly believe we could and would get it right this time. Otherwise I wouldn't be kidding myself 4 years later. So please, if anyone thinks I shouldn't please speak up (especially site veterans like Sandi who have been following my story for 4 years now) but I think it's a good idea to try and maintain some kind of contact...even if it's just a funny one sentence text. Of course no relationship talk at all..I'll be playing it like I want to be friends and have my own stuff going on. But just because I want to keep me in her head. I got nothing to lose and then I'll vanish again for a month or so. Play it cool as a cucumber. Plus as i said earlier...I don't have that impediment of fear of living without her anymore as I did back then for sure. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen. Thoughts and advice?
