Sia, I don't think so at all! I let my H cake eat and did not DB in the beginning, and it only hurt me as I allowed him to cake eat and gave myself false hopes. He knew I was plan B. He also saw me vacillate between sad/needy and then very angry. ... I actually think indifference is a good thing! I personally don't like the "lovingly detach" concept. It's more human nature (and believable) to create distance and then try and remain civil, minus any kindness or friendship!

I have said this before, but you are so far ahead of where I was when my H moved out! ... would you be willing to link your old threads here for kech, or are they deleted?
