UPDATE 6:01pm Wife comes to fetch our son from my place. After buckling him in, she looks at me and says (with a "smile"):
W: That was evasive, the way you went about things. M: Evasive? W: The way you responded to my letter, it was very evasive. W: [Pause] Then again, I wasn't expecting much. M: Hmm. Okay. [I close the car door, stepped back and said goodbye to our son]
I know my reaction will not help evoke in my wife any memories of our past friendship or anything, but my question is: should I be? Should I be friendly, should I be kind? You know, some of the things the Bible suggests we do. I'm truly struggling with this.
As a sidenote, I was also expecting a reaction somewhat stronger than this from my wife. I suppose her legal response will be most telling.
