I have also deleted all SM.

Until recently i thought i was going well. I have been detaching from W by not responding to some txts and and to others by yes/no answers.

I also have been trying more to GAL, its slow but I'm getting there.

Today i received an email from my L advising that W had gone to a L herself to sort out finances etc, i had been waiting for this day to come but i think it hit me harder than i expected. I have a meeting with my L next week, which settled my mind a little more.

And it looks like the sale of our house isn't far away either.

It feels like W has decided to go radio silence on me, which doesn't surprise me one bit, Is this "normal" for WAW?
If so, it helps me and my detaching even more.


Normal? Not sure I can go that far, but what I can say is that it is not abnormal. In other words, a lot of this depends on how dead-set on D the WAS is. Sometimes radio silence will almost immediately elicit the tests that Steve_ is referring to in his response. Sometimes it take days. Sometimes weeks. Sometimes months. More than likely she will eventually get curious and break radio silence. That there is a period of radio silence both ways is typical. That eventually, if you stay NC she will eventually make some excuse to reach out.

But as LH says, radio silence is not to try to get her to reach out. It is about you letting yourself let go and move on.
