Rob and MM, ya I've regained my sense of humor about everything, including the situation. I joke about stuff all the time in my IC too. No matter how things turn out, I know me and the girls will be fine. Some of my single girl friends have commented that my perma-grin "is back."
Faith, ya, I know I shouldn't settle and supplicate for crumbs and standing up for myself can only help myself (and hopefully the R).
MM, love the advice re: being the best, sexiest, proudest bustorama I can be for that sake alone and not towards manipulating an outcome.
Had fun at the concert with kiddos. W arrived late cause of traffic. Nothing really eventful happened one way or other R-wise. Our D5 is starting kindergarten this year and has her first open house tomorrow so we made plans for that. W called and texted me a few times tonight with stuff related to that and D5's upcoming bday party. She asked me to pick her up on the way to open house. I agreed and whispered sweet nothings in her ear while oiling up her corns and callouses and shellacking her floors.
Seriously though, I'm back to the question of the anniversary dinner date -- Puppy previously said he thought it was an ok thing to do given where we are in our sitch. After all the latest @$$ rubbing, T&A, etc. shenanigans do people still feel the same way? I still feel like it would be "the right" thing to do to recognize our anniversary by asking her out to dinner (though not some over the top romantic hideaway, more like fun cocktails place and cool restaurant scene). One pro of doing this is that if she says no or shows almost no physical affection through the end of the date, I'd also CLEARLY know where things stood and could REALLY focus on myself rather than her or a warming R.
