I feel I have completely let go of W. I continue to hold out hope that she will come around before D is finalized which will be at some point in August of 2020.
This is good.
Continue to let go.
It is good to have hope. Please be careful with expectations - hope with a time frame or deadline. Have hope that she will come around. That’s it. Her hopeful awakening needs to not be tied to August 2020. Keep expectations at zero.
If you are hoping for something to happen by August 2020. As you get closer and closer; and if you haven’t seen the progress you expected, resentment will start to build more and more. That will snuff out your hope and have a detrimental affect on any positive that may have been happening unnoticed.
You have the gift of time, use it wisely. Leave the unknown future to be revealed as it happens. August is a ways off, and lots is possible between now and then. I wouldn’t expect a D either. Be prepared for sure, just remember lots could happen; and there are plenty of stories of the MLCer dropping the divorce.

Nice to read.
Have faith and stay strong. You got this.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
