It still strikes me as odd how happy, nice and gracious my W can be around me while, at the same time, want me out of her life. I mean, I understand the whole compartmentalizing thing, but I just don't know how you pull that off.
I've had a real hard time with this one too. I have talked to four people who have been on the "walk away" side of things to get their thoughts on it. Apparently, they really do live in some sort of fog. They just go with what feels right and none of seems as off the wall to them as it does to us on the outside.
One person said she did the same thing. It made sense to her to go with the thought of "as long as I am here I may as well make the best of it."
