Starksy - It may have been working in relation to long term outcome, but since I am no longer sure I even want to reconcile, I am more concerned about keeping things nice and protecting my interests right now. I don't want to give her any reason to get lawyers involved, or start going after money or forcing me to sell house etc.
Today, I went it to say hi when I dropped S17 off at work. STBX adjusted my shirt and also rubbed her hand across my face since I was a little unshaven. It's funny how something that went unnoticed in the past, actually makes me think now.
