Again - this is so much better than the original 180, IMO

I absolutely love this post.

I've been going through this for about 2 months

After doing a soft 180- husband came back & said he didn't want to lose me. Unfortunately I was SO desperate that I let him back in right away. I wanted him near me so I could sleep next to him at night.

That was wrong because he just ended up lying and he ended up leaving again because he was caught red handed. (He still lies about every single detail even though I have proof)

Now I've decided to do a hard 180 because I'm not quite ready to file divorce. I feel like it's just too much stress on me and I need to wait a little while. Until then, hard 180 will keep me from being manipulated by his lies. I plan to just basically fall off of the face of HIS earth. Bc being around him is toxic for me (arguing, lies, blame shifting, GAS LIGHTING)

I decided that I really have to let him go and say that I'm done and as far as I'm concerned we are over. He's made his decision based on his actions (living with OW.. although he lies about it)

& I have to make mine by removing myself from his life. From now on when he picks up our kid I might just say "hello" & not leave my front door. I usually walk her to the car & that is where the small talk begins. No more of that.

No more arguing or talking period.

Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.

Just pushing this excellent post by Ser JR back up to the top.

I really think that this would be so helpful as part of the Healing Library.

Bumping - I think this is much clearer than the standard 180 document. We owe a lot to SerJr.
