I did not say anything about how long the D was going to take when she mentioned that this can all be over by August 5th....No I will not rollover and play dead, though I am getting the feeling that she might give a little more then one would expect to get this D over and done...
My W called again this afternoon to reiterate what she told me this morning and emailed me about the girls(seemed like an excuse to call). She then asks me what I thought about our earlier conversation. I had to pause because I felt like I was being setup and I did not want to get into a R talk, that would have lead to frustration. I told her that I felt the conversation helped both of us see the others perspective a little better. Not that we can put ourselves in each others shoes but I feel we understand where each of us are coming from. I reiterated that we both are making the best decisions for ourself and our girls.... I am not sure what she was hoping for from this last conversation but it went off without any conflict or frustration on both ends - which is good.
I forgot to mention this earlier. My W asked me if I have grieved the loss of our M. I told her that I did months ago and that our old M is dead. I do not want to go back to the way it was and neither does she. She told me that she is grieving the loss and cannot believe that it has come to this. She said that she sheds tears all the time about it. She tells me that she wants to make everything as normal for me as possible and when she sees me on the couch she has a hard time with it. I did not comment on her couch comment.
She is really hard to read, all she wants to do is talk to me about D, but at the same time she is doing my laundry, cooking me dinner, asking to run errands for me, etc.....
