Results of the court hearing has us in protective order for the next 12 months. Disappointing, but it is what it is.Since her PA is continuing, going dark was my only choice since she is out of the house.I am continuing to GALing and noticed that at the hearing W still acts angry. Tried to engage her in conversation, but she stated she didn't want to talk. SHe didn't convince the judge that a P.O. was needed, the judge simply asked me if I could stay away for the next 12 months and I said I could. This was a 180 for me as I am sure W expected me to fight the P.O.

I also showed up without my wedding band on which I have never done before that I think she wasn't happy to see. This morning she contacted a divorce lawyer for the first time, so something that happened yesterday she didn't like. My question for the board is, considering my situation, how can I effectively let her know that the window is still open for her to return without pursing? She also still has not communicated with adult sons. Keeps trying to talk with the S(23) but he will not take her call.
