Is this the end of my marriage?

[P17]

Treat her like a cousin. Good to be around but don't hang on her every word or try to devine her moods. The is your D's day, don't ruin it or weigh it down with great expectations.

I wish you luck. I'm in total avoidance mode.

I'm trying hard to let go so I don't have any expectations at all. I just don't want to appear too enthusiastic or too of anything.

I have been invited away next week (23 October) by a friend so I will need to cancel one of the dates my W has made for my D and me. Again, another small victory of me GALing. I know again this isn't about her, but about me. But she has to know about the cancelled date.

I assume the usual plan is tell her nothing other than I've been invited away for the weekend - this is along the lines of what PDT said earlier in the thread about when he was going out on a date and his wife was enquiring - just say yes, no and volunteer no info?

How is total avoidance mode working for you?
