i said I wouldn't be here much....well I am down to posting once to twice a day and I have stopped reading the boards all day looking for the answer.
I think the particular card I chosse was safe. No harm done.
Money discussions are done. No real issues there either. We are both being very decent about this. She is not "paying" me, but will be buying groceries as usual and all things kids need as usual. I will be covering monthly operating expenses as always. No difference than "normal".
A couple of times in the last few days WAW has alluded to the fact that the move out is not a finality for her. Seemed genuine and not intentional. Just maybe, my nice guy thing may not have been a complete DB failure this time. We'll see.
Today after S16 and I worked out together, WAW made us a nice dinner and on her way out to meet some friends, she kissed son as usual, but then kissed me. It's been a while. No big deal, but nice.
Looking at the good things: no legal stuff started by WAW, kids are confortable and safe, I am in my house with my kids, WAW still plans on being around house some (good in some ways), WAW still being caring and considerate, no sign of ant kind of OM.
I even think there may be some good in the separation. Had she stayed, things would have been over quickly.
Only time will tell. Let's see what happens after the move out and the family XMAS vacation.
