News of my life: I got about three very brief e-mails from my W, all of them concerning the fact that she got on her own car insurance policy, which means I'm left to take care of my car insurance payments myself. Before this, I had transferred money every month into her bank account so she could have the payments automatically deducted (her account was our old joint account). She also changed the password for me and said that she thought that I could change my policy somehow to get lower payments.

Her e-mails were basically friendly but devoid of emotion. On the first one, she wrote, "Hope everything is going well." I replied back in kind: "I appreciate letting me know about everything." I gave her my bank account number so she could give me back the money that I had given her this month for the payment.

Not sure what any of this means, really. I'm guessing that she's doing everything that she can to make the separation more final. Possibly even lining up her ducks for a D. I guess we'll see.

As for me, I'm reading a book about rumination by Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, who I imagine is the leading expert on the subject. So far, it's been very enlightening. It makes it very clear that if you're constantly thinking about negative things, you will feel negative. So I'm trying to stay positive and keep that PMA going at all times! I feel better already, really.
