Cutterbug,

Now I get why you want her to file for D (if that happens)... good point. She should do all the work involved!

About shining the light (beautiful metaphor BTW!):
Did you let your WAW know you still love her before you went NC? I mean did you give her a NC letter of some kind? Does she know that you don't want a divorce?

I hate to say this, but the gift idea seems like chasing. It also seems a little confusing, like sending mixed signals. You are not contacting her and have not for almost 3 months. Then you give her a gift of mixed music and a card...it is a very sweet and personal gesture.

I also remember my DB coach's advice: don't do anything drastic until the holidays are over. He said we tend to get emotional/sentimental/lonely/exuberant/depressed during this time so it blows things out of proportion (good or bad).

So that is my opinion. Heck, I truly would not be surprised if she reached out to you in some way, but it might be an email or text or would she give you a Christmas card?
