I totally agree. It messes with my head and needs to get under control. Going to have to start ignoring her advances. She even sent me a picture tonight if her dressed up in her Halloween costume for the party that we were supposed to have but now her work team is doing. So Yea just the constant keeping me on a string that needs cut.
Agree on the respect. If I can't even respect myself and being this puppy dog then she won't ever respect me as well. I have to get that respect back like u said if any chance of any sort of reconcile. Have to find new ways of doing the detach in person. I like your advice there. Kids wouldn't apply since we have older kids and no need tow arch them. But I get the direction there.
I have switched my cologne and she has noticed. But havent switched much else because we have been watching money since we are in the both same account right now and have been letting each other know when we are spending from that joint account. Soon to change in that though in a few weeks. So will be able to get new clothes and things then. No young colleague. New job starts in 2 weeks and will be fully remote. So can't do much in that way. But understand the direction being implied. Have to get creative somehow there.
Hard to deal with the whole cake thing but have to get it under control soon!!!!!
Thanks and any advice is always welcome and helps!
