(((Amy))), {{{Tawnya}}}, If you note, I even customized your hugs above. I'm pre-loading this box with hugs because I need some advice. Sort of am not sure what to do at this point. Maybe I need to re-read DR book.
W started "dating" OM about 3 weeks ago. She said it is just friends, and they are going slow - even said all they've done is hold hands. Not sure if I believe, but oh well. I'm proud - I have not asked a SINGLE thing, she has offered - which is sort of weird in itself. Usually don't people try to hide OM/OW?
Anyway, I have gone dim - basically am not calling/talking in anyway. If she calls to talk to kids, I hand them the phone, and I don't take it back. She started texting me about being sick this weekend, and putting plastic on her windows because it was drafty and cold. So, I asked if she needed anything, and asked if windows were double-paned.
Then I didn't say anything else. Is that an appropriate response in light of OM? I know you can't work on your own R if OM is involved, so now what? I'll admit - I'm Mr. Fixit, but I'm a bit confounded now! In my 2.5 years, have not dealt with OM. Also, it is a weird thing - not really a romantic relationship, even though she has brought him to meet kids.
I'm continuing the going dim - I know that she'll either move on with dork, or miss me. But what are good tactics?
