While physically separated and trying to to DB and embrace LRT. No texting things like have a nice night. Or I hope your move in went smoothly etc. just wait for her to initiate all contact?

Be happy light friendly. Be the lighthouse and the man she would be a fool to leave? I think she is starting to see my 180s are for real. But not sure if she will be able to give us a real chance with both feet in... trying to accept the uknown but it is really hard for me.

We did help each other move and are on good terms. She said she wanted to hug but we were all sweaty and invited me over for a glass of wine once we are settled. She just texted me thanks for your help. Wait a while and say youre welcome... feel like not responding is just mean. But I have seen some say do not respond unless she asks a question. I can not see that working but what I thought would work definitely has not.

At this point she knows I would take her back. I want to change that so she does not know. When she moved out a year ago I was a mess tears etc could barely keep it together. Now I was calm cool collected. Have a good weekend. I am out with our daughter to celebrate and have fun. I have come along way but still a ways to go.

Hope to hear from some that have successfully reconciled or just some more experienced DBers. Thanks!
