W Filed, Still not served, GAL'n every day!

[DangerDave]

Hello dbmod - First thanks for keeping my thread "alive"! Interactions with the W have been very civil, mostly about the kids and routine day to day stuff. There has been some levity but her mood changes day to day - last night she was in a bad mood - I had offered her some advice when she was going on about a topic and she instantly turned it to my controlling behavior. It really dumbfounded me as it was only an option/idea I threw out to her in that vain - very non-confrontational, just a "you could always do this as well" - and nothing to to with the R as well.

It seems that anything I say that suggests something other than her mindset on ANY topic just flies back into my face - so I avoid it at all costs - that latest really was nothing to do with anything of import - oh well.

She announced yesterday that T'giving will be at our house with all of my in-laws and their families - not too far off from typical for us, but we usually celebrate that Holiday with family friends and reserve Xmas for the family only event. Not sure her thinking on this, but since she declined coming on the camping trip with our family friends because it would be "awkward" for her(??) she probably would have the same conflict with these other friends since they all know she's filed as well.

So I'm just going about my life day to day like business as usual, at least usual in my new found freedom and life and am not looking over my shoulder at all. It's the best I can do to detach while under the same roof - it will be interesting next week with all the kids home where she's going to be sleeping - not sure if I should offer up our bed our not - she'd probably say no thanks and really don't want to set myself up for any further rejection, but I do want to do the right thing DB wise!

Thanks again,

DD
