Hi Davide - your post about you discussion with your W really hit a cord with me. I suspect my H and your W may be cut from the same cloth. They are both essentially good people, trying to do the right thing, but unsure what the right thing is. They don't want to hurt us but they also don't want to be with us. They love us, but the 'weight of it' it all is too much. So they take the easy road, escape and try and make a fresh start. Confusion, doubt and love for me and our life has always been a theme in my H escape. The difference I guess is my H still has a lot of anger and blame.
Anyway, I don't want to hijack your thread. I just wanted to say I think you handled it in a way that stayed true to you. Maybe not in the text book DB way, but in a way that was considerate and kind. You are letting her go with love.
You once said I was an inspiration. Right back at you D.
Good luck on the dating scene. I look forward to hearing your updates ... it has been a lifetime since I dated and have no idea how it's done now.
