I hear the advice here that I was given not to stay overnight when I go to swap the dogs at her vacation place.

It is about 2.5 hours away and I can certainly time it so that I can leave without staying or just simply leave whenever.

What I am extremely curious about is to see her state of mind after being alone for 4 days in a isolated lake house. I need to prepare myself for the possibility that she wants to talk about our R.

I know her enough to expect that. Even with the drunk outbursts which I obviously dislike, I can read between the lines when she talks. She is very isolated person when it comes to her feelings. The latest outburst sounded totally different than any of the earlier ones. Even though it started the same way it provided clues that some of my 180 techniques may have worked.

She is waiting for my response and she does not know what I would tell her. It is bothering her and I don't think I am mind reading here.

I have distanced myself for over 4 months, but doing the DB only as long as my thread has existed here.

I have to make decision soon and I have to set boundaries for possible outcome. Her vacation alone may provide me with the opportunity to finalize my response which is due shortly after.

What should I look out for and how should I make my point without damaging what I have accomplished?
