Hey Nomes,

I will send you the books if Dave doesn't.

can you elaborate on why you are reconsidering your last stand talk? Fear of pressuring her? Your sitch just seems so different. You have had so little contact relatiive to many of us, you went very dark for a while, and you have a D date set in mid-August.


I guess it is the fear of pressuring her, and causing her to be more tentative and short with time when she picks up the kids. I feel like I've made some good progress in the communication between us, only to have it potentially dashed if the talk is perceived negatively by W. I don't want to revert back to square 1, you know? And if this is what happens, it will take so much longer for her to invest in the notion that my going dark is really due to me moving on with my life. She will probably say to herself, "Yeah, I've seen this before. He did it for a couple of months and really wasn't moving on like I thought he might've been." I just hate/fear that possible outcome.

What do you think (and what makes you think that "the talk" is a good idea again?)? Have you read my rough draft of what the talk will likely entail, and if so do you have any constructive criticism to lend?

GD
