Friday afternoon: Attended the funeral of a very good friend of mine. STBXW attended as well and followed me home to pick up the girls (it's her weekend) - she ended up sharing a bottle of wine with me and I asked if she wanted to stay for dinner which she promptly said yes to. She stayed at the house until around 9pm before collecting up the girls and heading back to her apartment. The visit was very pleasant. Before she left, she asked if I wanted to make plans to all go down to DC to see the cherry blossoms on Saturday and then do something together on Easter Sunday as well, I said of course.
Saturday: As we agreed the previous evening, I picked up STBXW and two D's and headed to DC. Spent about 2 hours walking around looking at the cherry blossoms. Afterwards, I dropped them off at STBXW's apt and she said that she would be over Sunday Morning with the girls.
Sunday: STBXW and D's arrived around 10am. We planned a trip to Shenandoah to go hiking and have a picnic. Drove out, did a nice 3 to 4 mile hike, and enjoyed a nice picnic lunch that I had packed. Came back home and she stayed for about an hour and then left by herself to go back to her apt.
All in all we had the kind of weekend that any "Normal" happy couple would have with their family. Absolutely no one would realize that we are separated and heading for divorce. There were no arguments, nothing unpleasant, but also no physical intimacy. I don't get it at all. We both like all of the same things and can have a fun time together, but yet she is content to live separated. This has been going on for sometime now. However, everytime I propose we move forward with some time of reconcilliation she withdraws for a couple of days and then resumes with the above type interaction.
