Mo2C came by last night around 8. Got the kids ready for be and then the 'talk'.
If you've been reading the posts, you've seen her earlier post which sounded like she had made up her mind and wanted to just get if over with. What you didn't see was an email from her the next day to me that was a complete 180 from that. She has been lonely by herself and missing many of the things that we shared.
So I was quite unsure what the direction would be going into the talk. Unfortunately the end result was somewhere between #1 and #2. Yes, she's confused. Yes, she's missing things. Not so much the material things but the comforts? She still doesn't know if it is me that she is missing or something else. Of course it's only been a month, so...
On the other hand, she is enjoying her independance and doesn't want to come back; so things won't be changing anytime soon. We more clearly defined what the expectations are...
No dates with each other. This includes my reunion that's coming up in June which she was going to go to.
We can date others.
I need to limit my interactions with her family since she needs them to support her.
Personally, I don't see it working unless we are actively trying to fix things. But that's just me. Maybe the 'if you love someone, set them free' can work. After all, isn't this approach at the core of what Michelle preaches?
