Divorcebusting.com Forums Open Forums Walk-Away-Spouse WAW advice needed

If my w called me and said that, I would call her up and take her out to coffee or lunch. Nothing extended at first and nothing too 'romantic', so no dinner.

Of course, don't talk about R unless she brings it up. Otherwise, the rule I like is "Small talk, happy talk".

Show her how much fun you can be.

But be careful about extending it into a longer time, as she might feel 'smothered'.

If you have a good time, go slowly from there. Do not, I repeat, do not think that everything is back to normal, nor expect it to be. If you expect too much you may overwhelm her and she will go running. Been there, Done that.
