I completely disagree he did anything that would lead anyone to believe he gave her some cake, with icing and watched her eat it.
In front of his children, his friends (her children and her friends) he was beyond civil to her. They were at an event for their children. She responded in kind. He asked her to dinner. She accepted.
He has to put her in a position to show him she's sorry. Not talking to her about anything except the kids does not give her that opportunity.
"I feel remorse when I deeply and geniunely regret a choice that I've made. It has NOTHING to do with whether or not the person that I wronged is willing to forgive me or not. Remorse comes from my heart, and indicates that a major positive change has taken place."
And you would be a normal person. WASs are not in the normal mind. She's just spent more than most of the last year convincing herself and everyone around her that she was justified in the crap she just pulled. She even convinced CIPA she was....but now that she's been outed.....things have changed quite a bit.
She's trying to figure this out. She's trying to figure out if CIPA even wants to bother with her anymore beyond co-parenting which he has to do with her forever.
To me this is very simple: with CIPA's W, he had to open the door first. She would never do it. That conversation where he confronted her, he so completely shut her down she had absolutely NO reason to believe he would ever forgive her, so why try? At this point, he's unlocked the door, and now he's slightly opened it.
I do believe, from this point on, it's up to her. But CIPA had to start this process.....after what he told her in the confrontation conversation, she would have been wise to keep her distance....and she did. Now, she has a window of opportunity. CIPA will have to wait and see what happens.
