WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 8

[confusedinpa]

There may be some feeling of "liberation" since she moved out. Everything is going to be rosy for awhile...

I know in my case, W moved out and we did stuff MORE after she moved out. Hindsight being 20/20 - she mostly did it because I paid for stuff, and it made her feel better about herself.

If it were me, knowing what I know now, I'd have said, "No." I would have said that with the separation, and her choice for divorce, then you'd need to start acting like divorced people.
Be prepared for her to be angry and nasty, but if you are calm, sweet, and loving - but stand your ground, it'll come around.

But, you know your wife, and you know her personality. Maybe she's thankful you are giving space, and truly trying to see how you all interact?

Don't you wish you had a magic 8-ball?

I'm not sure if the dinner together on Weds is financially driven as she knows I will just likely pick up pizza. Maybe I'll ask her to supply the drinks if I pick up the pizza....

I wound up calling my boys to say goodnite. She didn't say much but both my boys really chatted up a storm. They seemed to have a good day as she took them to the park - I was surprised as she never had when we were together. I'm sorry I missed it.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on sharing a pizza before the baseball game? It will be at the park. I'm worried it may confuse the kids. It will be awkward if I tell her no as she will be there as well. So confused....
