Quote: I've been thinking that if I met my W today and discovered what I know about her now, would I want a R? NO WAY! When someone tells you that they are selfish, self centered, perfectionistic, uncompromising, and unable to meet others needs what would any sane guy do? Run like hell!!! My W has told me all these things, so why would I pursue this person as is? My point is that the person I am presently living with is not the person I would choose to explore a loving R with. Therefore, it makes sense to let go and allow that person to do what she will. Of course, if she ever wanted to work on her own issues and expressed a desire to work out a real adult R (you know, the give and take kind, of the real world) I would be more than willing to oblige.

This is some really good stuff that I think everyone on this forum should read. When I look at this and apply this to my sitch I think about how I don't want to go backwards. I only want to go forward. Especially now. This could do wonders for people as far as detaching and letting go is involved. You have posted something good here. At least in my opinion. THANK YOU!!!
