Help, it seems my 35 year old wife is in MLC #12

It's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. W has the kids this weekend but I picked them up this afternoon to have dinner with my mother and grandparents and then dropped them off at Ws again a little while ago again.

She was all friendly and smiling when I picked them up and dropped them off. OW was there but she was hiding as she does.

W said something odd to me though. I really like pumpkin pie and she hates it. She told D6 to have lots because she isn't making it. D6 then says to her "You used to take one bite and give the rest to Daddy" W said "that's right" Then she says in a proud fashion "I don't have to make that anymore" and then she smiles at me. It's been bugging me all afternoon.

How should I take that? It came across as; in her mind, it is a benefit of being separated. It certainly didn't give any indication of hope like when she invited me to trick or treat with the kids or the attitude change I seem to be seeing.

I wonder if this is cycling. I haven't seen anything that I would call cycling in my W to this point. I'm not even sure what that looks like. Maybe I'm reading too much in to it or maybe I'm just holding on too tight waiting for something to happen. I would appreciate some thoughts on this.

On another topic....Yesterday I got a phone call from W. It was also odd. W wanted to know if I thought it was ok for the kids to watch a certain movie. She said that they told her that they had watched it with me. There are 2 things odd with this. 1. she has never sought my approval before on something. and 2. She was actually the one that watched it with the kids, not me. I distinctly remember her calling me more than a year ago and asking me where the movie was because she was going to watch it with the kids. (she wasn't asking if I thought it was ok then either like she is now) I told her and her and the kids watched it. She has no memory of that happening.
