GH31, I agree with everything you said and that has been my approach since September 09, with the exception of a few family time breakdowns on my part. Thanks for the input. How are things going with you?
MHL, she will do family time when she has the kids. When I have the kids she is nowhere to be found. So, when she does ask for family time, which is infrequent, it is cake eating at its worst. I do realize I am now the OM, but I do not want to get caught up in that game. She has made her decision and is moving on with her life. I am trying to do the same.
On thing that is interesting is a couple of weeks ago I was getting hammered by my boss. I called the W as a distraction and to hear a friendly voice (I rarely do this)...I told her this. Then a few days ago during our heated D conversation she told me that conversation made her happy and put her in a good mood. Why? Proabably because it meant to her that we could remain friends (more cake eating). However, it is hard not to read something into this. Then again, she defintely wants a D so I guess the answer is pretty clear.
My W has defintely put all of her eggs in one basket with the D and OM. She has alienated herself from me and my family and a couple within hers (although some seem to be supporting it for her happiness). She must be pretty sure about the R with the OM.
