great to hear from you! and thanks for the input. any news on your sitch? I sure hope there have been some improvements. You've helped a lot of folks on this board and deserve the best!
I suppose at this point I should be posting in Divorced, but not done...
I agree with your assessment that the following may be happening: "just didn't know how to go back or how to make it work" and " it is a guessing game as to if she has the strength to deny the OM and come back"
at this point I'm just going to continue to make sure that any interactions we have are "safe" and comfortable to her and continue to be a friend. As much as I get tempted to engage in the R talk, I've been really good about keeping that off limits. As long as OM is in the picture I don't see things progressing too much. She's dropped enough hints to date to make me realize that the OM is not the person she wants to settle down with, so will just continue to be patient.
Thanks again for all of your insight!
