Yes, I keep thinking, "She must be busy. Something must have happened to prevent her from calling." But those are excuses and I know it. But yeah, in truth, I think she is processing it really. That in itself though is not really great news.
What really pisses me off is that when she divorced my father, she didn't want us to have anything to do with him and made it so. But now, she's going out to dinner with my H without consideration of how I feel.
You are right, I am feeling defensive and self-protective. I have a good mind to not speak to her for a week. I will not call her - she said she would call me.
Accept that they have a separate relationship - that's hard. It's not like we have children and so it's hard for me to see how they would have a relationship at all if it weren't for me. They were not the best of friends when we were together - in fact my H had plenty of criticisms over the years. My H would look for reasons not to come to my parents place, and then suddenly all cozy, cozy.
