She's not treating you like dirt.

She's not treating you like her husband, or her boyfriend, or anything other than her kid's father. But she's not treating you like dirt.

You expect to be treated like her husband though, so you perceive it as nothing. Your expectations are killing you!

You have to start from scratch. As if you were newly dating.

You've been talking to this girl, and you saw her at a game and asked to sit with her and she said yes and you guys talked. You'll have to build on that just like any new relationship trying to work up to that first date, and then the first kiss. It doesn't matter that you are technically M, you are trying to start a new R.
