The invite to dinner has not seemed to cause any problems so I have pushing alittle more. A few touches on her shoulders, back , and "accidental" touching of our hands. I have taken more charge when it comes to the kids and I have them now for Christmas eve and Christmas morning. I also had them overnight last night. When she dropped them off last night she brought two gifts for me! One is a nicely wrapped gift basket with mugs and hot chocolate and the other is a wrapped box. I had a box of expensive chocolates and I told her to give them to her dad for me,(she was picking him up at the airport that night.) This morning when she was picking up the kids her dad came with her to my appartment! That suprised me. He thanked me for the chocolates and told me that he ate a few of them last night. I am going to invite W to be with me and our daughters tonight on Christmas eve because I know I am not the only one in pain this Christmas and it is the right thing to do.


All of my texts are still being responded to within a few minutes consistently and I feel there is something in her that wants to reach out. How do I get that to happen? We were both such great avoiders of conflict in or marriage and now I see clearly that she STILL IS.
