WAW Using God

[pigskin]

W was over today getting some things done like laundry. She's got a girls vacation this week with a couple of friends.

We had a pleasant conversation about just random stuff about our weekend. I asked her about a package that came as the name on the return address seemed familiar. It was a book she ordered that her IC recommended. She said "You won't like the title." The book was "The Good Divorce", and she said she really liked it and started to tell me a bit about it. I just listened and made no comments. Afterward I changed the subject.

I really don't care what books she reads, or how she assumes I could have any interest at all in something that tries to sugarcoat divorce. The thing that bugs me is that it shows I've got a looooong way to go with this, and there are no signs of progress whatsoever.

Talking with her can be awkward too, when I run out of light discussion topics. I guess I just have to pretend she is someone else in order to remain engaging and charming without pursuing. It's just hard to do when you see no headway in our situation.
