Quote: I still want my W back and was hoping to gain some encouragement in this room but see that there is not a lot of activity here...hope that doesn't mean what I think it means (no hope)...
VINCES, there's hope, just not a whole lot. This area tends to be a transition area for those not quite ready to just survive the big D. Doesn't matter what area you are in, the important things still are the same: Focus on yourself and your own improvements, be patient, do what works, be true to yourself, find activities that will allow you to get a life.
Personally, I'm back with my XW. She hasn't officially moved back in, but with the exception of picking some stuff up from her apartment, she might as well be living with me. It hasn't even been a month so I'll update in a week or two when things have had a chance to settle in. So it can happen, but I personally feel that all the hope in the world isn't going to make it so. In the end, it is the XWs decision. The best that you can do is present yourself as an attractive possibility to her by being a complete, happy person that isn't completely focused on their X.
