My 7 year old daughter called last night to wish me a Happy Haloween. Haloween was always a nice night for us, I would get home early from work and take her trick or treating. We would go house to house until about 9PM and then go home and sort our all her "goodies."
Unfortunately, she started crying last night saying how much she missed me, it broke my heart (again). I told her that everything was ok that I would see her on Friday and we would have a fantastic weekend together. I said, "Make a list of all the fun things you want to do and then give me a call and we can make a schedule." She seemed ok after that convo.
My ex and I then starting texting each other. No war, all good stuff. Both of us have come to the conclusion that our divorce could have been avoided. Our reconciliation was a disaster because neither of us were ready to live with one another. We should have taken more time and eased into the situation and spent our time together doing healthy fun activities with our daughter. I guess it is easy to look back.
It's interesting, my therapist and I agree that my wife may want to reconcile. I have no idea if we could make it work and it seems almost impossible, but she has been reaching out to me a lot. She also asked 2 weeks ago if I would move back into our home together until it sold. I told her I would have to give that a lot of thought and I was very concerned about the impact on our daughter.
Neither of us have said, "Let's get back together."
Why do you think she is taking this approach with me? I am confused.
