Hi TampaGuy,

This is one of the best success stories I've read on this board. And Tampa, you articulate it wonderfully. We can all learn from you.

Detaching is not easy. Good things in this life do not come easy. If we can give someone up and truly let them go, they might turn around and come back to us. And we and our mates are healthier, happier, closer, more fulfilled, and more confident than before.

No guarantees here.

If we detach and find that we're meant to live WITHOUT our WAS, then we are a better person and have learned to carry on with strength.

If we detach and find we're meant to live WITH our WAS, then we are a better person and have learned to carry on with strength.

No matter the outcome, we are a stronger person than if we hadn't detached.

Tampa you're a great teacher and we can learn much from your strength and perseverance.
