Hello Cautious, Thanks so much for the reply and suggestions. I too have read your post and I am sorry you are here.
I dunno know....out of the blue last week my EX asked me if I want to come to my kids hip-hop dance class and then asked me to come out to dinner with them after. Sure, you could look at this as baby steps....but I don't think that is the case at all. I think my EX wants us all to get along so that she has easier access to the kids when they are with me.
My EW has a completely new lifestyle now with new friends and a new cottage.
Yes, I know I am in a much better situation than many on this board.
All I can tell you is that it is not necessarily better when you are friends with your EX. In fact I find it worse, as it's like a carrot being dangled in front of you that you can't have ever.
I don't believe my EW is ever coming back. If you read these posts enough you will realize that in most cases it's the husband who left that is the one that comes back. Most WAWs never come back.
My EW is extremely attractive, outgoing and very affluent. She has everything in life that she can want. I believe having a husband is a burden to her.
On a positive note I had a great weekend with my kids. We went up north and went dogsledding. What a fantastic experience for the kids and I. So I continue on doing all the wonderful things I do with my children and just focus on that.
