The Course of an Affair

[GainingStrength]

Ok ladies, it's still my thread. Really, I don't mind. I just want to get a word in edgewise.

My W is acting really wierd these past few days. Wednesday, we had a 10 a.m. mediator meeting that she sent me an e-mail reminder on, with the correct time, last week. Well, she didn't show up even though she's the one who initiated this process. I called her from the mediator's office and she said she thought the meeting was at 10:30. By then it was too late and we had to cancel. When I got back to my home office, she was in the den on her computer. We spoke civilly, but she refused to turn around from the computer to look at me. She also avoided all eye contact when I saw her since then.

Also, the next day, she suggested twice that I bring "someone" with me to our daughter's program on Saturday because it was going to be all women there and I might feel lonely (I've never metnioned dating to her, so I don't know if she's curious or what).

It's been 4 1/2 months since she dropped the bomb and brought her A out into the open. I don't want to read too much into all this, but she's never acted this way until now.

I think the approaching Thanksgiving holiday may be working on her. I get the kids this time and we are spending it in Palm Springs with all her family as we always have done when we were together, much to her very strenuous objections. She has long planned a trip with the OM to Texas to meet his family over Thanksgiving, but she is very upset about being the only one that won't be with the kids and her family.

Whatever is causing it, she is very uptight and very unlike the aggressive shove-the-A-and-the-OM-down-everyone's-throat attitude she's had til now. Any thoughts are welcome.
