thanks for the quick reply!
part of my post was accidentally left out ( iwas typing on my phone and maybe deleted it).
i am fully content on respecting her values. but what i’m having trouble with is she views my divorce as just a separation and that is not the case. i know guys say its over all the time and girls get burned. i know that is what is bothering her. if you asked me 6 months ago, it would have been a different story, but i know now that my marriage is over, i tried everything i could to save it and because of that i am now comfortable with and accept that it is over. i have moved on and there is nothing that will make me even consider reconnecting with my ex. she hurt me too bad and i have healed and closed that chapter of my life.
it’s not that i want her to go against her values, i want her to see that i am not just separated and there is no chance of me reconnecting with my ex. as i type this i’m thinking as far as reconnecting with exes go, it really doesn’t matter if you are separated or divorced – reconnections occur in either case.
i guess my real question is how do i reassure her that there is no chance of reconnecting with the ex?
