Mary,

I don’t understand why he still contacts me after all this. I also don’t know how to stop being emotionally connected to him.

I need guidance if it’s worth keeping that connection window open and how I can overcome these feelings in the meantime, or if it’s time I let go altogether and also overcome these feelings.

Sex keeps women physiologically connected to their sexual partners.  It’s a biological fact.

I suggest that you re-read your post(s) and look at it.  If a friend posted this, what would you advise her to do?

Mark
