Quote: but the longer we don't talk about anything in our r, doesn't it get easier not to?
sue, what I found to be the case is that, as time goes on...some things just don't seem as important to the r.. so not talking about things (or talk) can give you time to reflect on what the r was... what you liked about h what you didn't like about h. what you liked about you and what you didn't like about you. what are the really important things.
during my separation (technically still separated) h and I talked about nothing...no or talks no "dates" nada...we were co-workers exchanging shifts... and now look.
don't worry, you CAN live with out him, you just don't want to and that is ok. I have hope for a success story from you!!! LL
