Need another opinion, is my W OM, friend or more?

[andyv]

Its been a good week.

W is more pleasant (still guarded), and manages a smile now and then.

Had a few friends over on Wed night to watch the Rugby League, stayed up till 1 am playing DD's X-box with them.

When W was getting DD ready for school on Thu morn, she told DD "I'm a little bit tired because Daddy's friends kept me up last night".

There was no anger in her voice, and she sounded like she did when we were together. Also she did not say "Your Daddy's friends" like she normally would refer to me.

She has also told me of events happening in the future (eg DD's being taken for weekend with SIL family for weekend trip in July, W spending weekend in Sept for a work "timeout" etc).

She hasn't mentioned anything re future activities since the bomb.

This morning (Fri), I have the day off. I got DD ready for school, lunch etc. W dropped her off so I could have a sleep in (finished work at 1am this morn). Also I have things to do today (Gym, golf driving range).

I told W that I could pick her up from school this arvo, but if she could take DD with her to her hair appointment (she is going to a family birthday party of a distant cousin tomorrow, I was invited however W did not want me to go)

W got a bit poopy, because I asked her (she knows I will be going out tonight instead). She still makes a good effort of avoiding any conversation with me, I instigate the "Good mornings", "Good bye, have a nice day at work" etc.

One day I did not say a thing and she left for work without even acknowleding me.

I hope this may be another phase of MLC that she is going through, to bring her closer towards the tunnel exit...............
