You can use logic and reason to change the way you interact with her to change the way she feels about you.

First thing that is needed is her missing you. You fight every urge to pursue and you distance yourself. You are always the first to end interactions. You are busy and have something more important(exciting) to do. Always be on purpose.

When you are interacting, you behave more attractive than the old you she left. That is one huge onion to unpeel. Understand how to build sexual tension.

Do not let fear control you. Face and slay the dragon.

Do not be boring.

I 100% believe she is operating on emotions right now. And knowing her, she might stay there indefinitely. She’s not even talking to those people right now for fear that they’ll judge or challenge her. I wanted them to know what has really happened *in case* she ever has logic back on her side and she’s listening to them. But I’ve said it, they know, now I’m going dark with the in-laws.

I love all of the advice. I’m trying to take it to heart. I can honestly say I have zero desire to contact her outside of business topics (S1, financial/asset issues during the transition). Over used your advice for saying I need to be somewhere and she’s asked “where / with whom?”

New leather white sneakers just arrived. They fit like a glove. Also just pulled out some shirts I bought last year but couldnt fit. Lost 10 lbs this month so now they’re perfect. And I’ve been watching some mens fashion channels on youtube, getting ideas.
