I know. Slowing letting go of contact is for your own sanity. You don’t even have to let him know you’re doing it. For work, can you get a secretary to handle the emails?

And if he is engaged, it is not a healthy relationship on a personal level. When he leaves his fiancée then the time is right. It’s so easy not to take their relationship seriously ~ they’ve been engaged forever, it’s not permanent, you two are best friends. Technically he is not married, so he is still in this nebulous grey zone where, you know, he COULD leave her today and marry you in the town hall tomorrow. So that realm of possibility is out there. It is possible!

But, he is still here, struggling, conflicted.

While the ring is on her finger, break the addiction that is him.
