Not Sure Which Way to Go

[downandoutintn]

So W and I had another conversation at lunch. We had to confirm our plan on taxes for this past year. Once that was taken care of I told her well I will have the kids call you later once they wind down for bed. Then she kept me on the phone and asked a question that I thought were really weird.

W: How do you feel about me seeing other Men.

Me: Honestly, I don't want to see you dating anyone else and it will probably hurt to see you dating other people. I don't believe the D is the best decision but that is your decision and ultimately I want to see you happy. I can not control what you do and I realize that. I can only control what I do.

Then she told me that a lot of guys have been hitting on her since they are starting to find out that she is getting divorced. She says that is overwhelming her and she doesn't really like it. She said that she doesn't want to be settled down with anybody anytime soon. She said that if they knew she was crazy then they wouldn't want to deal with her. Through this part of the conversation I just listened and validated her feelings. Most of it was her talking and me just validating.

I was really surprised that she kept me on the line. At the end I found out she had a client which makes even more uncommon. Even when things were on good terms this is not something she would do.

Anybody want to analyze this? I see this as being another baby step.
