It's been a week now since I had that discussion with my W. So far the topic hasn't come up again. I am trying to avoid any mind-reading, but it's hard. I cover the whole spectrum in my head all the way from the conversation had no effect at all with my W to we've just turned on the road to reconciliation. Realistically speaking, it's very likely it's someone in between.
I have had 3 interactions with my W since the convo. They have all been for a hand off with my S. Friday night she asked if she come in and use the printer to print some Reds tickets for game she was taking my S to. I let her come in and use the computer to print the tickets. I had to log it in for her. Thank God I got to the computer before she did because I had this message board up. I had unintentionally left some subtle clues about my new life sitting around. I had my message notes from church sitting by the printer, a pamphlet about regarding a little girl I'm sponsoring in Ecuador was sitting out, as was the thank you letter from VBS last year. I left her alone in the office for a little bit while readied my bike for a ride.
I saw my W Sunday night when came to drop off my S. I was cutting grass in the back yard. When my S came and found me back there, I decided to cut the mower off and say hello to my W. For some reason she took it upon herself to deal with a wasp nest I had outside the side garage door. As far as she's concerned, it's not her house anymore, right?
I saw my W briefly tonight. She came and asked to use the bathroom. However, I was just leaving when she got here. I just got done texting her because my S had texted me a couple of hours ago saying he was scared. It was some bad weather in the area, but everyone's OK.
So there's really been no mention of our convo a week ago at all.
I did have session #12 with my DB coach yesterday. I brought him up to speed and covered our convo. He seemed to think I handled the convo well. At first, he suggested as a next step for me to start getting the financial stuff together for the L. When I brought up that it would probably be more of a 180 to do nothing for now because I've typically taken care of everything, he thought I may want to just do nothing, and let her bring it up again. He seemed to think my W has a lot to consider right now. I also got the message it seems like I've gotten throughout my situation of "stay the course".
GAL'ing still going strong. 35 miles on the bike trail on Friday, wrapping up at 9:40pm Community Group meeting with folks from church on Saturday night - also shared my latest story there , too, and got lots of support. Church on Sunday, lunch with some friends from church, and a 31 mile ride in the afternoon. Monday night was opening night for softball. I went 1 for 3 with a cheap hit and a nice solid at'em ball - not bad for one of the oldest guys on the team. Tonight we didn't have my Tuesday night group, so I arranged a meeting for dinner at a local restaurant. I had dinner with two ladies from my Tuesday night group tonight.
