Not much new to report, other than XW invited me over for drinks and to discuss some work stuff. It'll be the first time I've set foot in our house in over a year. But I really do feel like I'm the bigger person and have banished all thoughts of our past life from my mind. I may turn it into something that needs to be commented on here, but I feel nothing. I suppose that's the best that can be imagined; that couples who co-parent children try really hard to reach this kind of comfortable impasse.
Something tells me that isn't the case with XW and that I need to watch my step with her, but I'm not sure. She's so good at burying her feelings, I doubt she knows why she wants to maintain a connection with me. But she seems to want to maintain a connection. As long as it keeps some money rolling in, I'm happy for the work. I doubt she can be very satisfied with the conversations, though, since I give very little of myself and at some point she's going to realize she only talks about herself. Maybe not.
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well - enjoy these last weeks of summer before fall rears its inevitable head.
