Hello, I'm new here. :)

Have you read the detachment thread? I have to keep reading it over and over to really grasp all of it. You can detach emotionally even if you are seeing each other every day. I think that space and time apart probably help speed it up, but I dont think they are strictly necessary. It is all about giving him the space to be him, and focusing on yourself. You can still be friendly and probably should be, but so long as your emotions are ruled by him than you arent detached.

At least for me it is really easy to be polite and friendly but distant. It is easy to not initiate contact and not to pursue. It is easy to not outwardly react to my Ws texts or emails. But the true test of detachment is whether or not I am allowing those interactions to affect me inwardly. Am I still internalizing her coldness or rejection. Getting to the place of no inward reaction, I think is the ultimate goal of detachment.
