Quote: living with the regret of something you alone decided is exceedingly difficult. So just choose wisely.
That thought hits home for me in so many ways. I'm really struggling with it. I don't ask advice on it because I know it's my decision alone to make.
I've been casually dating the last three months (no sex). I'm doing other things in life I always wanted to do. I'm really starting to feel "normal" for the first time in a long time. I don't know if some could understand that, but after being in limbo for so long it's great to feel "normal" again. I really started to make some new and very interesting friends (male and female) and have been involved in several projects (civic/charity/professional) that I've really enjoyed. All this time, my WAW is still very much in her coma (for lack of a better description). She's like an Alzheimer patient that I feel obligated to take care of instead of wanting to be with. Can you understand that feeling?
I feel myself starting to pull away and I never thought I would be at that point when this all began, I tried so hard to save my M and so much time has passed, so I'm struggling with that very concept... regret!
