Hi everyone.

I spent most of the weekend with a friend....trying to GAL.

Quick update:

I picked up S16 from W's place today. I did not get out of the car, but she came to the car and we talked:

W: Hi!

M: Hey.

W: How are you?

M: I'm good.


We had small talk about S16 for a few minutes and then:

W: Did you have a good weekend?

M: Yeah. I'm just a little tired.

W: Where did you go?

M: I went up to Payson with a friend.

W: Did it rain while you were there?

M: No. It was actually hot up there.

W: Did you get my text earlier in the week?
(See 1st post in this thread)

M: Yeah.

W: You didn't respond?

M: No.

W: How come?

M: Honestly, there is a lot I wanted to say, but I didn't want to say the wrong thing, so I figured it was best to not say anything right now.

W: I see.

M: Playing it safe I guess.

W: I see.

M: You know, in that text, you said you miss what we had 15 years ago. I miss it too. I also miss what we had 26 years ago. I even miss what we had just 1 year ago.

W: Well this is a conversation for us to have with no kids around.

M: I know. We will.

W: I'll see you later.


She turned around and went into the house. She looks very unhappy to me too. I almost get the feeling that she feels me pulling back. Not sure if that is good or not......

She continues to spend money like crazy.

Has anyone here ever felt like maybe their situation has reversed in terms of the way the MLCer and LBS feel? I still want to save my marriage, but I'm not letting it rule my life. I get the feeling that W is starting to realize what she stands to lose now that we are getting down to the wire with the D.

I also have a hard time understanding why she would want to be a friend to me when I am supposedly such a terrible person.

I showed a few friends a recent picture of my W. They said that she doesn't even look like the same person.

I've been married for 26 years. We go to court in 26 days....
