Slightly hopeful optimist..

[Just A Guy]

Crazy thin happened today, wasn't intentional at all. I called her aunts house (her H is one of my best friends and I his) and her aunt picked up. She is my W's confidant and mentor. They are inseparable.

She started asking how things were going at the new job and talking about her kids in school the whole normal small talk. Then out of nowhere the conversation switches to my sitch. At first I just sorta listened and started to switch the subject, and then she flat out told me that she "knows that if I take care of myself and give her some space while working on confronting and communicating issues with W without worrying about making her mad that we will be fine".

Now if it were her sister or mother or anyone else for that matter it would have been taken with a grain of salt. However I know that she W's go to for EVERY issue in her life so I know she knows all the details of what's going on and what W is thinking. So I take this info with more seriousness and also with the confirmation that the principals in DR work.

I know the thought of confronting issues head on during the sitch is not what everyone should do but in my sitch just going over what W said during MC and other conversations it is definitely something she wants to see out of me so I will work on that when the next issue arrives.

Thoughts?
