W picked up the kids this am. She was a little late and looked like she had just got out of bed. Since then, I’ve had some unproductive thoughts that W might have had OM in her bed last night. I know, just mindreading and while it could be true, there’s nothing I can do about that for now.
I tried to make the most of our brief encounter this morning. She mentioned that she was tired because she hadn’t had her coffee. I asked her if she wanted a cup and she said “no I am fine”. Yesterday I received a 85.00 utility refund check in the mail that was in both our names. This morning I signed the back of it and just put it in the kids overnight bag. While I could use the money I figured W can have it. I didn’t mention anything to W about it. She emailed me 15 minutes later thanking me for it.
I also pointed out to W a cool Halloween costume that S wants, I want to order it early before it sells out. W says, “that’s fine, you can take care of that since you will be taking S out on Halloween”. W also mentioned that our D will need to go back to the doctor’s office for a checkup. I said “I can take care of that today after my lunch meeting” and she said, “that would be great”. I ended the encounter by letting the kids and W know what great behavior the children had and I asked them to continue their good behavior when there with mom. All in all I feel it was a pleasant interaction.
It’s been a little over 24 hours since I received the text from W stating that she wants a divorce. I am guessing she might be a little surprised that I haven’t reacted to it. I am just continuing to be nice and pleasant.
