You and I are around the same age, our relationship and marriage were around the same length of time, and from what I can tell our relationships went bad in very close to the same way.
I don't mean to hijack your thread, but I wanted your opinion on what you think my wife is thinking right now, if you would be willing to give it. You had replied some to me in my thread, but I'm at a crossroads here and would really appreciate your thoughts.
She left about 3 months ago because she said I ignored her, and was selfish with my time. Wasn't in love with me anymore... You know the deal.
She moved out quickly, and while she said from the beginning she wanted a divorce, and still says it, she has also never said we were "done". Her and I have always had talks about working it out, but never serious talks, just more like "well, what if?" stuff.
We went on a few dates, and it went well, but I pushed really hard, and assumed we were getting back together... We had a blow up, and stopped talking.
I have now told her that I agree to the divorce, and I don't see any way we will be back together again... But I would like to remain freinds. I dont want to be friends, but I honestly want her to think that, even if it's not the truth.
I do still have hope. I am still trying to DB... But I don't want her to feel ANY pressure from me.
We have chatted some recently.. A little productive R talk... As I tink you read in my thread... And I did break down and asked her if she would like to spend her birthday with me at the zoo. She agreed immediately.
I took this as a good sign.
As a WAW from really close to the same perspective as my WAW (from what I can tell), is there any insight you could give me as to what she could possibly be thinking?
I guess I was just a little impressed at how quickly she was willing to spend her birthday with me... You know?
