wow a lockout.

I said Ok sure as happily neutral as I could. Ive heard this stuff before.
Its strange. I'm hurting sure but I seem to be on DB autopilot.
The answers I give her don't require a whole lot of effort to give.
PMA, Distance, go a little dark, don't feed the alien.

Dude, you have it nailed down. That auto pilot feeling is you responding that way you know you should.

Good job my man.

It really doesn't matter if she goes out with the gf or the bf right now, what she is "looking" for is how you react to her going out at all.

The fact that you don't make a difference in your reaction gives her nothing to "use" later.

You are doing a great job of not playing into her stunts.


That's what it really is, no matter how we cut it, a stunt, aimed at eliciting a reaction.


Don't, react that is, it doesn't pay off. Trust me, it didn't here.

My reactions to her pre-planned "stunts" were set up to fail (what a jerk...) no matter what they were.

Don't play into that hand.

Best,

Punkt.

Thanks Bro!! Im trying!
This morning before she went to work we sat down in the kitchen and made small talk. Then I got to be a guinea pig....
The kids brought out some hair gel and proceeded to try and sculpt Daddy's hair. She even got into the act and was combing through my hair and goofing around. Everyone had a good time.
She was right there in front of me, but I resisted the urge to reach out and hold her or touch her.
Its much later now and she's off to a wedding with her friend.
She called not to long ago to say hi and good night to the kids...
I kept it light as usual and wished her a good time.
