HI TZ,
I just happened across this and I wanted to extend my thoughts and prayers to you. You have been such an inspiration to me and I have to believe that this is just another small step backwards.
Keep believing!
My prayers are with you.

Hey T, By now you have tried almost everything. I think a lot of you for your effort but that doesn't mean near as much as NC and full effort from W would mean.
There are still a few things you have not tried, though plan B never sounded good to you, and the other would be a big stretch for you.
You have tried so hard, I want so badly for this to work for the two of you. You keep on with plan A, and I'll keep praying.

kily, SS:
Thanks for your thoughts! You know, I've been so busy mulling over my own misery that I almost failed to notice a couple of positive changes in my W. Nothing big, and still no NC, but worth noting.
*less and less "fog statements" all the time, but particularly over the past few weeks. *more and "better" closeness of late - like snuggling next to me during "Star Trek Nemesis" yesterday - a decidedly "non-romantic" movie. But it was really sweet, and I appreciated it.
I don't know. Maybe I'm just too impatient. Her A lasted so long that she needs more time than most to pull her head out? Like a YEAR of plan A isn't enough, folks??? Well, maybe it isn't. But by the very "requirements" of plan B - go there to preserve your remaining love for your WS - don't seem to apply in my sitch. I still love my W as much as ever, and I figure I will whether we stay together or one of us does something stupid or not.
So, I'm going to try to give this more time. I'll keep the "boundaries" near the surface by reminding her of them from time to time, but I don't think I'll just leave anytime soon... ...unless a reallly good job offer comes from some really cool locality out there!! Then, I might disappear so fast that I'd cause a loud thunderclap as the air rushed in to fill the space I vacate!
