Thanks Arsene and I also want to thank Denver. I appreciate your guidance with the “one liner” that I texted W. I told her, “no, I am not in a relationship right now”. I didn’t receive a response back from her but I don’t really care. I am just glad I was given the guidance, it helped a lot. My W has a masters in psychology but she’s never been one to use much of this psych babble.
Our daughter’s birthday is just around the corner. I will be seeing a lot of my in laws and W’s friends for the first time in months and I am not sure the right way to act. I know they will be asking me how I am doing. I am good at flipping the conversation around and focusing on them which I feel is a good approach. My gut tells me to act like everything is ok. It’s a song and dance.
Here’s my game plan. From others perspectives, please let me know if I am on track. I am going to dress nice, smile, be friendly and focus on daughter. When there’s chit chat going on, I will give the impression things are ok on my end. I don’t want to send the message that, “things are great” at the same time I don’t want to send a message that “I am in the dumps”. I would appreciate opinions from any of you. _________________________________ Freshman class of 2012 Me(M):38 W:43 Together: 14 Married: 11 D: 4 S:8 W wanted separation 5/5/12 Stopped living together 5/5/12
