I feel that my response to my XW should be the same no matter if
I wanted to reconcile I was dating someone I was alone I did not want to reconcile
I am trying to be "true" to myself while at the same time protecting ME.
I understand what you're saying Miss.
But I think your reponse is different based upon what you want, AND you're still being true to yourself.
As an example:
Responding to an advance from a pretty lady is going to be marginally different based upon what I want (if I was single and totally different since I am married) And I would be true to myself in either case.

A - She was sincere. B - This wasn't a trick and I didn't feel like a fool for even considering it. C - She could earn my trust. D - I allowed her to earn my trust. E - all of the above.
