I'm not quite sure what to tell you Brit. I know I would love the chance to live w/ my H again, but I know he is ready. The way your wife has been up and down lately, I don't think she is ready even though she made the offer. I am afraid at this point it could do more harm than good. I do think the closeness of the new place sounds great and help a lot w/ your coparenting. Maybe you might want to casually drop a "D and I looked at a place nearby, but it isn't available until ..."
We'll see if anything happens tonight and if we do anything over the weekend. Maybe I'll invite W out to lunch or dinner on Sunday. She has D all weekend, and it's tough to do that on her own.
I am REALLY at odds to decide how to handle W right now. She seems interested in what I am doing, in terms of finding a place to live, so I don't want to exclude her and make her feel like I don't want her to know what is going on. I felt horrible when I was at lunch with her yesterday - She just seems like she has lost interest in everything in her life. Guess I need to find the balance between not being too pushy or seem like I'm pursuing, and making her feel like she has someone to talk to. It's not even like she fakes feeling good around me like she used to.
