Agree you have to fake detachment until you make it
Cannot be forced
Only you know your boundaries
When my w got in a serious R and introduced the kids to OM
I was depressed
And then I was angry
And then insisted we get divorced
Limbo without OM was ok
Limbo with OM was unbearable
I went dark and really stopped interacting with her
All while still cohabitating
When the d was about to go final
She dropped the D and the OM
It is still complicated but getting better
Not saying you should do the same
Just wanted to share what happened to me
