Game Point

Things were going OK the past few days it seemed. W was in good spirits and we were all just doing our thing around the house. She even initiated some conversations and took an interest in what I was doing friday night when I went out with friends.

Last night she stepped outside to go on a walk and left her phone at home. It is locked with a code, but it started ringing and I noticed it was OM calling. He isn't in her phonebook, but his number flashed on the screen. I was tempted to pick it up to ask the idiot what he wanted, but remembered that any interaction with him usually ends up backfiring, so I let it go. He left a voicemail.

When W got back I told her "Better check your messages, there was an important call coming in earlier and they left a voicemail I think". She checks the messages and I asked her what he wanted, and she said it was a 'wrong number - he meant to dial someone else'.

Now that either sounds like a lie from my W, or he is using the oldest trick in the book to call her when he doesn't want her to think that he wants to call her.

This guy is basically a disease that won't go away. He is a master manipulator and is very good at his game. W has fallen for his BS hook, line, and sinker time and again. She believes it is all her fault because she has typically been the one to call him, even though I pointed out that he would be contacting her if she backed off (like last night?). I don't think W and him have been out of conctact for more than a few days over the past 18 months.

I just kind of shrugged it off and continued acting 'as if'. It is all I have left to do these days. In the case of him calling her it isn't something I can even really get mad at her about.

Otherwise, I had give W the D papers to file if she wanted to on Monday (she asked for them) but she hasn't done anything with them as far as I can tell. In fact, it was after that that the tension seemed to die down quite a bit with her.
