I have to agree w/jo here, bruce. If we don't leave room for the ex to come back, we will never know if they would have.

Maybe we can't change the course of our relationships, but at least for me, in trying to work through this, I will be better prepared if I do end up having to find someone else to spend the rest of my life with. And I can keep working on building a better friendship with my ex. I owe that much to our s.

I can't tell what my ex is thinking, (I probably wouldn't really want to!) but his actions still tell me at times that he enjoys being around me. And I enjoy his company, so we start there and move forward w/whatever may come.
