Who really knows what any day will bring?

I think it's good to play out different scenarios in your head. It helps you prepare to respond in a more intentional way and not react.

But I will say that more so do you need to demonstrate that you are Detached, than that you are better behaved and will be a good boy next time. I think it is said in the book as well as here, If that is the only message, W will see through it. W will not trust it.

I think it was you that spoke about attractiveness towards the W, in my thread. Yes, you have to look your best, but IMO, your attractiveness is in your demonstrating that you are a centered male that will be pursuing his dreams regardless of the old MR. Not that your teeth are brushed and your hair combed.

W needs to see authentically that you are mentally and emotionally moving on. With or without her. Period
