Divorced but hoping to Reconcile

[forward]

LNMW, I can see both sides of the coin here. It sounds as if your W is opening up to you some, but you will have a long row to hoe, so to speak.

Not sure about the advice in practical matters. I would ensure that you get the matter in writing, that is for sure.

How would I feel? I would be surprised and grateful, but I would also be skeptical. I would suggest that consistently being friendly and kind and putting your daughter first will count for much more.

I think your W is moving closer to you but this is not something that can be undone easily.

I would have to say that in CLOSE m/f relationships, one person or the other often secretly wishes the relationship were not "just friends."
