She feels bad. That's why the hard hug. She is sad that her marriage is done. She probably felt after talking to you that it just solidified her feelings.
Whereabouts in WI are you?
Janesville,
I guess That would be a way of seening it too. I mean at some point she had to really feel that way when she decided to make the big choice of leaving. sep. our kids ect. we hugged many times befor with her saying many of the same things. My thought was she she sees she still has alot of love for me (she was even saying that) and she does think its over but is second guessing if she made the right choice. after all we had that talk but there was alot of her saying how she was happy befor the last year or two. Lot of good was said too. how I take care of the kids and she says what a good father I am. she seems very hung up on recent things..
But why does she want to be good friends so bad? (her own words were she misses being able to call me and tell me she's having a bad day and how i can chear her up. right now she is afraid that because of the divorce and placment i will use things against her. even though i say i wont and have not done so)
is it the break period? kind of a last chance type of thing so she can clear her head? if we can become friends and work out our problems that it might be her see me as a person she want to be around alot
