Not matter what happens he and W have to get along to a certain degree for the benefit of two gorgeous little boys. Sunday was a good start to that minimum.
To me, Sunday was his opportunity to open the door to let her know, if she wants to talk, he's going to listen. That is the right and decent thing to do.
Again, the question is not "How can I punish her?" The question is "Is this worth saving? Can she show remorse?"
And another thing to remember, just because it's not the level of remorse everyone here would like to see, that doesn't mean she's not feeling it.
What's more, before Sunday every contact between them besides the confrontation has been tactical. Since the talk on Friday, she has tried to "play" with him. Sending him silly pictures and silly text messages too.
He did not pursue her. He asked the mother of his children to dinner after a nice birthday party.
And let's remember two other people involved here....the boys. I would bet my next paycheck they were THRILLED to see mommy and daddy together and doing stuff as a family.
I also think it would go a long way toward her being able to feel sorry and be sorry if she were reminded of how good it once was and how much better it could once be.
There is no one size fits all solution to every situation here. It's all different and very delicate.
