And if at some point in the future it turns out to be good for the relationship, great, but for now I need some control of myself and this situation. And sitting around waiting for him to change his mind while I play the good wife doesn't sit well with me anymore. Not in a nasty, vindictive way, but in a self preservation way. I have dignity and I'm going to express that now.

I think I will have no problem being upbeat in his presence - I have been doing that since early May when I started DBing. He is going to get a little nasty when I tell him certain things - like I'm not doing your laundry anymore - but I plan on simply saying "that's not what divorced people do" and leave it at that. NO MORE CAKE!!! smile
