Quote: I guess if I walked away I wonder if she would just never bother with me.
And if she didn't bother with you would you want her back anyway? In one way or another we are all saying that despite the fact that she may not call or talk to you again, you still need to let go, move on, detach, whatever you want to call it.
To use NYSurvivors example...if this was a girl you were interested in and you kept doing things, making advances, etc and nothing came of it, would you keep chasing after her in the hopes that she would eventually agree to date you? No. Right now your XW is not interested. She may be later when she gets a chance to digest things and a little breathing room. Don't go swimming with her anymore (and don't say...but she motivates me to do it...) My advice from now until she starts initiating the contact is to get away.
