Journaling.

Called my W yesterday. Very pleasant conversation. We talked about the boys, her school, health as I always do. I really wanted to ask her about our R, but guarded myself from doing so. I figure when she is ready, maybe she'll approach the issue. I sounded upbeat and calm.

My W even volunteered info about her school, and managed to squeeze in some humor. It's been a long time since she shared humor over the phone. That was refreshing. She sent me an email a couple of days ago about our possible linkup for our oldest son's religious event. Brief email, but nice: she acknowledges me by my first name, and closes by writing "thank you" followed by her first name. There is an obvious softening in writing and over the phone. And no mention of the dismissed divorce proceedings.

I must keep on DBing. This time I ended the phone conversation first. I talked to my oldest son as well, and asked if our two other sons were already in bed. But I told my W nothing was pressant and there was no need to wake them up if they were already asleep. I just said I'd call back again to chat with them later.

Good phone conversation. Could my W be warming up? Time will only tell...
