Hi Manta,

the failure is not yours alone. I say this not to heap blame on her or you.

Sometimes we have to let go of everyone and see who is still there after that. You want to be wanted, and that's preferable to forcing someone to stay. It stinks.

Enjoy those turds nieces and nephews. Enjoy Christmas. Enjoy life!!!!! You're young enough, you have a lot of life left. Go and make more money and kick life in the @ss!

Wrong! You will live your dreams if you want to.

The fact it's over 2 and a half months since she said "I want a divorce", she hasn't filed.
Gotta be strong for the time being. You obviously don't want it to be over, or else you'd have filed. Well, that same line of thinking goes for her too. Who knows where this will lead. Limbo ends when both agree or someone pulls the trigger on D.

I remember years ago before we really dated, she disappeared for over 5 months of NC, then returned and said "I love you, I'm sorry"..
Strange behavior, what happened here? Did you just gloss it over because you loved her?

I love that you're staying NC. I guarantee she is thinking of you as well. Doesn't mean y'all are getting back together, but she's going through it too.

Your inlaws likely don't have the whole story and may just want to "stay out of it" or not aggravate your W. If they don't send a card, then oh well.

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.
