No, you're response is exactly the opposite of my post however the same advice of my dad. I'm 35, he still knows shit.
His opinion is to ghost her, I'll likely get the same reaction eventually. Won't be forced, and by the time it happens I probably would had completely moved on and these silly games won't even be a consideration.
I guess the problem is feeling played, even unintentionally. Since I'm recently detached I have some control and even if I keep her around as a fling the dread might make her realize her options and treat me differently. Then again if you want someone to treat you better, they likely aren't a person to include in any aspect in your life.
Perhaps I'm still seeking some validation before moving on completely. And yes, after re-reading my comment (above) I realize I need to just move on.
Either way I'd love some examples of dread working positively.
