Yesterday, WAW came over with groceries and made dinner for she and I and S16. D18 was at work. We are nicely settling in to our routine. I may even go to a movie with WAW and the kids one night this week. It looks like the family vacation showed us that we can spend time together without it being too awkward. Many of you thougth it would be a really bad thing and it turned out well.

I have the whole vacation thing all worked out in my mind. I am going to have a great week in the sun away from the snow here. I think this just might be the perfect opportunity to show my WAW just how much I have moved on.
How exactly does taking her on a nice vacation, and initiating affection with her, show her "how much you've moved on"??
Please don't misunderstand me. If your choice was to go the "win her over" route (which I don't necessarily agree with), then fine on the vacation. But if you were trying to show her that you were moving on, we tried to tell you that you'd probably go all "melty man" on the vacation, and that it wouldn't work.
You did, indeed, go all melty man. We'll see in time how that helps (or hurts) your efforts.
