Not sure what to do

[stu321]

Just got home from our dinner and show. I took TrentC's advice and didn't go into tonight pre-determining the outcome.

It started well. She was wearing her wedding and engagement rings which made me feel good. I didn't mention them though.

We had a nice dinner and spoke a fair bit, not about our relationship, but just general things like work, our families etc. We even had a few laughs which we havn't done in ages. We were in stiches in the car on the way to dinner over something our son did during the week.

There were a couple of awkward moments over dinner where we didn't say much, but I tried to keep the conversation going.

I felt a couple of times, she tried to push my buttons by saying a couple of things that she knew I wouldn't like, but I didn't bite and I think she was a little surprised. Things like " does such and such know we're seperated" or "do they know that we're not together" This really put me off, but I tried not to show it. She's never actually said that to me before. When I left home, she said it was to give her space to work on her issues, not that we were seperating or that we wouldn't be together. Would be interested to get people's feedback on her comments.

At the end of the night, she thanked me for a lovely night and a good show.

I think the best thing for me out of tonight was the fact that she wore her rings, and now she knows we can go out for dinner without any pressures.
