AC....I don't know if I would call it a change in temperature, heck I don't even know what a change in temperature looks like. I feel she cried as she knows i still want our M and she has moved on and can never go back. I was different at the start.....she was asking about my new role at work, I was positive upbeat, telling her things that I know she would feel sad about as she would be doing them with me normally. For example, my new role gives me a lot of benefits and experiences, ie a small exclusive concert with jack Johnson, her favorite musician which I attended and told her I took a friend. Also next weekend is the superbowl of australian football which I go to each year with her, so I told her I was taking another friend. I was different, but then when she started crying it went downhill and I 'chased' her to reconsider and look at the great things about us. I didnt know what else to do, she gets emotional and it made me sad so I talk R as well. All wrong.
Still Learning.....they are very good points and observations. I don't expect there will be too many more interactions from now though. The next is for her to clean her things from our house, which I can't handle, and then split assets as she says. I won't be encouraging another interaction, she doesnt want it. Her way of dealing with things is to hide, block it out and move forward. She even said on Saturday that she still has her 'wall' up protecting her, which I don't think will come down. In her mind it is probably on countdown mode to divorce - 5 mths to go. They are some good ideas and I will definitely try them next time - if there is a next time. Thank you.
