What about approaching your new R with ex-W as if you are dating someone totally new? You are aware of her history and how she has felt (has been hurt?) by her previous R .. and because of that you realize that you have to really "tip-toe" to in to gain her trust.
If you adopt that attitude, do you think it will help you in not being disappointed when your ex does not respond/do what you would like?
Yes I do agree with that statement. Just so tough not having her realize just how lucky she is that after SHE divorced me that I am willing to forgive and work on a new R. Where as she still isn't committed 100%. But like you and my C said she is the one that has feel like she can recover from old wounds. Its almost like my wounds are being totally ignored
I do believe I am putting too much tought and pressure on myself to make this work. I had the attitude for so long that it was her loss if she D me and now I find myself losing that part of me because I want her back so bad.
