Update-My W brought me back a t-shirt from London which was a nice surprise. I'm confused by the gesture and I will give my honest opinion that either she felt obligated because I got her something in Hawaii or she just did it because she wanted to, either way it was nice of her and I expressed my appreciation to her for it.

I went to my S's soccer game last week with my W there of course and we somewhat team coached the game. Its an interesting thing to do considering our situation but I try to make the most of it. They had team pics after and I was running around trying to gather the kids and grab stuff for my W. Its weird how we work as a team on the soccer thing and then we just part ways after. I ended up paying for her pics as she forgot her checkbook and told don't worry its not a big deal as she was worried about getting the money back to me.

My birthday was yesterday and my W wished me a Happy Birthday and to have a great day. We ended up texting a bunch about our S after. More nice gestures. I had a great birthday dinner with my family and lunch with co-workers as well.

My W wants to now somehow refinance the house and take me off of it which I don't know how she will but I told her to go for it if she wanted to. The house is really the last piece of our D to figure out.

I feel like I'm just trying to be the best man I can be meanwhile I'm just waiting on the sidelines for my D to be signed and be final. At this point I don't know if I say anything or not or try anything or not? Do I just let things run its course or what?

I feel like I'm at a stand still in my stitch. Just abiding my time. If I do anything external related to her it seems controlling or pressure and if I do nothing I'm just waiting for my W to either keep us in limbo or finish the D. I guess I'm in the status quo I have been in this whole time.

My S misses my W so much and constantly asks about her which has made it harder lately as he is asking more and more as he gets older and older. Darn kid get smarter and smarter everyday when they are this age.

I sit here in anticipation of the responses in my head to this post and think people will say well what is your plan or what are your 180's. My plan at this point is to be the man that no woman would want to leave. That means to no be controlling over things that don't adversely affect me and be the best father to my S I can be. Other than this I don't see what alternatives I have. Is this just still a wait and see deal? I have been biting my tongue about any R talk with my W. I have worked on being more positive in every aspect of life and will continue to do so. Rambling now so I will end.
