We did talk last night a little about expectations. She went to look at a couple of places after dinner and found a small apartment that is local. She thinks it is too small, but I told her that her expectations might be a little high. We talked about what she would want from the separation. Would it be time apart, but still working on us? Dating each other and possibly some counseling? Or would it be little contact and perhaps seeing others. It sounds like she wants it to be us continuing to work on the relationship. She doesn’t seem to be interested in dating anyone at this point. I did mention to her that I was feeling pretty positive about where we are because it is so much better than we were at the end of last year. At that point, she had agreed to Retro only if I would accept mediation afterwards if it didn’t work out. There is no mention of mediation or divorce at this point. I told her that I was really encouraged by that.
Have a great day all. We made it through the 1st quarter in one piece!
