Whatis has just returned from a Canada Day bbq at STBX's. She invited my parents and I for the evening. I dropped the kids over at her place around noon and she was expecting me to stay for the afternoon. I told her that I was really exhausted and needed to grab a nap at home but would come back at about 3:00pm. When I returned we sat in the backyard talking for over 1.5 hours together, it was really nice. She actually listened and inquired about things and people in my life. We actually talked like human beings are supposed to talk to each other. Later we did the bbq together and the cleanup, spent a nice evening with my parents and then called it a night. At the door she gave me some corn to bring home. I then put my arms around her and kissed her on the forehead, (she's short!). I have purposely not touched her in any way since we've separated but tonight I just acted on that urge probably because I felt we'd had such a nice time together. She seemed fine with it and continued talking with me as we walked to the door. Now just as I returned home the phone rang and it was one of my kids saying "mommy wants to bring over some chicken wings for you, can you meet us downstairs" Strange stuff here. Why is she being so nice to me lately? I actually feel like she gives a damn. But don't worry Dbers, I'm not thinking any weird thoughts like reconciliation. It's all just kind of weird. I guess with not being in each others face day in and day out makes it easier for her to show caring and drop some of the resentment she carried for years. I'll just take it and be thankful that we have something many separated couples don't. That's it for now. HAPPY CANADA DAY DB'ers!!!!!!
