I think she wants to be friends

[sleeper]

So W called the morning after the "fight" and said we needed to "resolve" this and asked that I meet her and kids at a store.
I meet them, spend most of my time looking for clothes for her and kids (they needed some). We only spoke two or three sentences about our disagreement but I guess that was enough.

I leave them at the store and she immediately calls me, thanks me for helping her shop. She said I found some really great deals and if I hadn't been there to help with kids she would have spent a lot more money or not gotten as much for kids.

Later in the day she calls as says I "should think" about going with her and kids on vacation this weekend.

So last night she calls about bring kids to me. We actually had this back and forth TM about it which was weird because it's my week to have them. Weird because there was no demanding on her part about how it would play out. I agree for her to bring them to me even though it was late because they had been out all day on Memorial Day activities.

When she brought the kids over she came in the apt for the first time since Christmas. She wanted to see the pets I've gotten for the kids over the past few months. She then lingered in the kitchen. She wanted something to drink, something to snack on. She tasted what I was cooking. I finally asked if she wanted a doggie bag. She nooded. I fixed her a bag of things to take with her.

It was a little weird. Could it be that me going out on a date has made her realize I won't be there forever for her? did what happened the other night make her realize she's still in love with me? (glad OM told her and not me). Did she come in last night to see what she is missing in the children's lives when they are with me? (I'm pretty domesticated and the kids have told her all along my place is more fun than hers).

It's ironic to me that I stayed true to our marraige all through the separation and when the D was final and I did go on a date it may have shaken her tree enough to make her really think about what she is losing.
