I disagree -- your W sounds like she shows much more emotion than mine. She speaks her mind a lot more IMO. For her whole life, my W has pretty much kept her feelings and emotions bottled up. She would get them out in journals, and would rarely express them to me. However, I think our W's are the same in that even if they wanted to come back, they just couldn't bring themselves to initiate the converstation about doing so. It would just be too hard for them, esp after what they've put us through by leaving (and regarding my W, also by being with OM).
Nomes,
I agree with everything you said about addressing W's WOA LL, but would like to get your opinion about bringing up the "new R with a clean slate" thing with W. I think I'd like to do this, but I think the only appropriate time would be at the signing of the D papers. Thoughts on this?
