Well, I figured it out on what to send or not send. Turns out D8 wanted to send mom e-mail about skiing today. So I let her type a note on my computer, then asked D3 what she wanted to tell mom and I typed that in there. Then two sentences from me: one about they really did do great on skiing. And the second about the dog's arthritis real bad, but I called around and researched and we'll need to take him in on Monday.
Hit send.
No greetings, no fluff, no goodbye or have a good day, just the facts tagged onto the girls e-mail.
She is really close to that dog, right thing to do to tell her something.
Been following Lost's technique of trying to imagine the worse with OM and W...helping...still a ways to go...but will continue until it stops bothering me so much.
Time for sleep...going to make sure tonight, sleeping pill time.

Question for the experts: Girls had an incredible ski lesson, made huge progress, do I send W an e-mail and tell her this or wait for her to call and see if she even wants to talk in the morning. Also, about the dog - I'm thinking at some point I should tell her, not just let her come to find him limping all over the house.
Don't initate any TM or call unless it is an emergency. Let her ask about the girls lessons. You could just reply that she should call and let them tell her. If she talks to them, they will have the joy of telling their mother about their lessons. I bet they would tell her about the dog, too. You are doing better, but make sure you don't use these things as excuses for contacting her. I know it's hared.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
Well done GW the pennies are starting to drop into place! It starts to feels so much better when you get a handle on controlling yourself and your emotions. Basically you no longer panda to her needs or wants you sort what you want out first and then the girls and then the dog. If and when she takes up her rightful place as W and mother then she gets her priority rating changed.
Hope you get the dog sorted out soon, see if you can get him some Cortaflex HA Suppliment for dogs its excellant stuff I use it for me (sacro injury) and a lot of my friends horses use it!

You are making some great changes GW! Just don't forget when you do talk, especially when you see her tonight... be upbeat! Otherwise your 180 behaviors appear to be punishing, uncaring etc. The changes in communication need to be because of your full, busy, great life! You are a confident man, a great dad, someone who can be fulfilled with or without her, and that needs to come across to her. That will make her second guess if she wants to lose you. Plus, it is good for YOU. Don't lose sight of this.
so far, one text today - pic of a favorite dish of ours at one of our favorite restaurants where she is obviously having breakfast
i suppose i'm not supposed to respond to that one at all

Great reminder Rocked! Time to be a great actor - acting positive upbeat all the time, acting as if and like nothing bothers me all the time even when something does

GW why on earth would anyone send you a picture of a meal? Definitely one to ignore I think, just keeping thinking about that lovely peach wasnt it pie!
Rocked is right if you cant do it at least act "as if" your not being rude not answering her but your life is so busy with looking after the girls and GAL, dont forget to shop for clothes again this week, my H never used to shop for himself and always used to stick with the basics, just being clean and tidy. Honestly the minute he started buying a few new clothes and smelling good, I loved it, one because I had wanted him to do this all along, but it was nice to see him take care of himself and realise he was important himself. So go one GW rekindle the sex god lol!

Lost - as crazy as it sounds, the picture of food it is kind of an inside joke - actually what I would call the first "friendly" thing she's shown me in a few days. Too long to explain...
