I think tomorrow is about the family. Have fun, be fun and just hang out and talk...enjoy the moment. I do not want to broadcast my desire to get back with her. If this was a date my approach may (would) be different.
The OM is divorced so I do not know who to feel more sorry for, her or him. As for tonight, I am a little suprised the W did not ask me to take the kids. She did not have the kids for Thanksgiving or Christmas so she is probably trying to make up for some lost holliday time...she does love her kids. She did seem a little bummed this morning when I picked the kids up and I would guess that is related to tonight, plus she knows she will get the weekend with the OM.
It is hard to convey how my W is, but she is the master of masking her true feelings. I could think all is good based on her persona (verbal and actions)but in reality she could be seriously unhappy. I say this becuase I firmly beleive an introduction to the OM is just around the corner. She would not be invititng this guy to thanksgiving and Christmas with her family unless she beleived things looked promising. I do get comfort with the fact that some of her family was taken back by his sudden integration into the family. Her brother, who is a good friend of mine, is a strict catholic and wants nothing to do with him. We have been seperated for six months and are still legally married...I think she is making herslef look very bad. I would like to be around when someone ask the W where they met; Oh, you met at work...while you were married?!?!
