Hi Pudsey,

Ahaaaaa....what I see going on here is that she has been observing your changes and is now doing similar things that you are doing...

I still don't understand this part.


So to today
W tells me that "Mum (MIL) is doing dinner next weekend and has invited W best friend and her family", Ok I says.
"Mum has also invited some other guests and it's going to be a full house". "Sounds good" I said.

Then I ask W was she going to drop in to see all of the guests. " We've been invited as a family too" . "Ok I've no problem with that". W then tells me that the following week we've been invited to dinner at MIL best friend. "OK I can go to that as well".
W then uses the disclaimer statement that she not forcing me to go to any of these occasions but she was just letting me know that I was invited too. I told her as long as she was happy for me to go with her then I'd go.

The old me would have said "Stuff you. !! You go to these dinners on your own and explain why your H isn't here with you". But I'm going to, accompany my W (WAW) eat dinner, make small talk and enjoy myself.

Am I doing the right thing ? Are these more baby steps ?
