Hullloooo RonJon! Glad to hear things are going well.
Funny you should mention women needing mind-readers, 'cause that's exactly what I thought about my H. He seems to think I can just read his mind and 'know' what he's thinking and feeling. Very frustrating! I wish I was a freaking mind-reader 'cause then I would've know what the heck was going on before it got to the point of an A. So, I don't think that's a general woman or man thing, just some people can't seem to verbalize and communicate with their significant others - I guess it's a bit of a character flaw.
One thing I have come to see in your XW is her talking and dancing around an issue. Speaks in riddles, IOW! Have to be a cryptographer to understand, and maybe that's better than having to deal with someone who won't say anything at all?
Anyway, you have a good handle on it all. You are well grounded, and positive, and ya can't go wrong with that kinda attitude. It's also nice that you can see things, in some measure, from her perspective, and be empathetic (which, of course, doesn't make what she did, right in any way).
Hope ya enjoy the rest of your holiday, and the move goes smoothly.
