Jeff, I hear that you’re going through a hard time. I remember your earlier posts. I had a feeling that your now ex wasn’t going to budge. She had lots of great qualities, but she didn’t have the quality of wanting you to be a significant part of her life.

Now I think all you can do is put one foot in front of the other. Continue your counseling. Make new friends. If you meet a woman you like, date, but don’t push, and certainly don’t worry about it. Exercise. Read Al Turtle on-line if you haven’t found him yet.

I’ve been where you are, and every now and then slip back a bit. You’ll probably miss her for a while. My ex just contacted me after 4 months (she also was not a particularly “available” person) and yes, I got triggered a bit. But I’m going forward.

Keep going!
