BeingMe, Good to hear from you. It's just in my nature to overanalyze things at times, think its the scientist in me. Have definitely decided not to be friends, just would be too weird if nothing else (and I could probably think of a dozen more reasons) and have come to realize that trying to convice xw of that fact only causes me aggrivation so let he think what she wants.
Will work on cutting back on the generalities of the genders. Grew up with my dad and two brothers, even cousins were all boys. The WAW phenomenom doesn't change the women as communicators that I can see, they just go quiet when they are building their bomb, apparently thinking and watching to reinforce their thoughts. Can see where men would have just as many resentments as women.
Most of the stuff I do from here on out in regards to xw are things that work toward closure for me, not things for her. Things happened so fast, first panic mode, then denial, a bunch of other phases. Still think that it can't really be over until we both say so and am slowly working toward that point.
Who's to say whether the path we each are on is the "right" one or not. Good luck with your piecing, things will work out well.
Good sometime to communicate without any advice given and encouragement is always welcome. Will get over to check your thread and post again here if anything sigficant occurs.
