Maybe I should be in piecing part 3?

Thanks WDID, you and Pup have given me something to think about. I agree it's not a good idea for us to be separate 4 nights a week for 4 months at this critical point, but at the same time, maybe being separate is what she needs to figure things out.

I think when we talk this weekend about the move and when S16 will move I'll tell her I understand not moving S16 until the end of the school year but that it concerns me US being apart at this critical time. And we'll see what she says.

To be honest, it almost sounded to me like she wanted to stay until the end of the school year ONLY because she doesn't want to move and her comment about S16 moving in the middle of the school year was just an excuse so they could stay longer. So I'll have to carefully discuss it with her. Heck, maybe it would be better if S16 moved with me and I just said to her "why don't you stay and figure out what you want". Her being here by herself without S16 may be just the push she needs. I just feel like she's playing me and going to do everything she can to keep the family intact until S16 graduates from H.S. and then she'll make her planned exit. That seemed to be her plan earlier in the spring and really, I don't see how much has changed other than us getting along better. She sure hasn't moved back towards the marriage in ways that would indicate to me she wants ME. But there's always that WAS syndrome that they don't want it until it's gone. So maybe S16 and I should move without her and then she can make a decision.

I don't know. I'll have to play it by ear when we talk this weekend.
