well it's true. (BTW, sometimes no one can respond to your post I think b/c you mention fb so you might not want to do that as folks here -moderators too- do not want personal contact info handed out) or maybe therre was another reason that no one could post back to you.
Um, I have nothing to say about you and OW b/c I never thought you'd ask someone out anytime soon BUT you definitely overthink things. A woman being friendly to you, especially if she sees a ring on your finger may mean she feels safe. Not everyone is out to have an affair. If she gets inappropriate, handle it then and don't spend energy on it now. Way way too much worrying about stuff. And if she did flirt a bit, enjoy that and don't analyze so much.
Oh, about the anniversary...you maybe right to ignore it but here's a way to respect her wishes IF she actually said "do nothing"
"W, I know you don't wish to celebrate the anniversary of our M, and I accept that choice. So I just got this card b/c I'd be remiss not to say thank you for these wonderful children we have and their existence in my life. If it weren't for our marriage, they wouldn't be here, so I say, "here's to them, and thank you for bringing them into our world." Sincerely, Kevin
Just a thought. I have a hard time believing she'd get angry at this but if she rolls her eyes, I'd hold my head high BUT please please, EXPECT NOTHING....if you plant a seed, it takes time to grow. If you didn't, so what? You said something nice, something real, and something your d's should KNOW is true for you anyhow. So leave after you drop the card off and don't wait for her to read it. Please, please just head out and as I said, hold your head high...as for her anti-Catholic bigotry...not that surprising. I have run into it a lot although I'm not particularly attentive, (not nearly as much as I should be) and read somewhere that it's the most underrated prejudice in America...oh well. But you know It's not as if she's arguing "the various roads to salvation" or "Augustine's views on the sacraments and the trinity", for God's sake. Seriously, it actually makes me laugh in these situations.
Back to now and you and GAL...how's THAT going?
