Hello everyone. I orginally tried DBing but didn't have the will for it last year. Ended up with a dissolution, final Sept 04. We (H-53, Me-55) were married 23 years with two grown children. I immediately moved away to another state and ex-H started relationship (or continued?) with OW. He vacationed with her and our grown children this summer.
My heart is broken. I don't have any contact with him except for very rare emails. But he continues to act as if he wants friendship with me (birthday gifts, very nice message on our anniversary).

I am focusing on me, but it's been a long road to get to the point of feeling some detachment from him. In my dreams I wish we were still together. I have been polite but distant with him. After a year I am finally going out and starting a social life, but not dating. I still love my EX. I really don't know how to accept friendship from him.

Any thoughts appreciated.
