Update Time and Spoiler Alert: Tonight's conversation didn't go anything like I thought it would.

So I spent about an hour after I got home trying to get into the right mindset to give W a call and have this conversation. Once I finally got to the point that I felt "comfortable" I shot her a text saying simply "Hey W". She responded back "Hey. What's Up".

I texted back "Do you have a few minutes to talk tonight?" to which she responded that she was eating dinner but would call me in 10 minutes.

20 agonizing minutes later she finally called. She sounded happy and asked what was up. I immediately launched into the work related stuff that we needed to chat about. That part went quite well. Once we were done with that, she asked me how I was doing. i responded that I was good and immediately deflected the conversation back to her, telling her that it's been forever since we last talked and asking what was going on.

She spent the next 40 minutes talking my ear off updating me on her life: Her job hunt, stories about her friends, and letting me know that she had "Good news or Bad News..." then told me that her best friend and her husband had decided to try to work it out (after talking about a D a few weeks ago)... She said that she had her "Own opinions on that... but whatever" (clearly showing that she disapproved of their attempt at working through their issues) and went on to the next subject.

This whole time, she was talking NONSTOP, literally giving me almost NO time to even get more than an "Uh Huh" in... which is par for the course with my W.

Once she was finally done and there was a few moments of silence, I decided to launch into what I had called about. I asked her if she was still planning on coming down with her friend (the one who'd recently decided to work on her marriage issues) next weekend.

She launched into another story about something funny happening in her friends life, as a long winded way of telling me that her friend wouldn't be able to come down as early as she'd hoped, so W is planning on coming down next Friday alone to "start packing" then her friend will come down on Saturday morning, they'll load the cars and head back on Saturday night as her friend has to be back for work on Sunday morning.

This changed the game for me quite a bit. I immediately asked if we could talk on Friday when she came down alone, and she quickly responded "Yes, for sure, as long as it doesn't interrupt your plans for Friday night". She reiterated about 10 times that she didn't want to interrupt my Friday plans and be in the way, and I told her that it wouldn't be an issue. She also asked if I could spend an hour or so with her so we could "talk about stuff and decide who takes what".

I agreed to that, and she AGAIN said she didn't want to interrupt my Friday plans. I told her that either way I'd have to stop home after work to change, and I could spare some time to chat and help pack before I go out... (FYI. I have NO plans that Friday whatsoever... but I think I need to make some now!)

So with the knowledge that she'll be coming down alone for a night, I decided to put off the "Conversation" until we can meet face-to-face. I quickly thanked her for chatting and got off the phone. So it looks like not only will I get to have this conversation face-to-face, but I'll also be able to "Help her pack".

I'm definitely mind-reading here, but I got the feeling that she has very much moved on from our R... But I can't pinpoint exactly what she said or sounded like to get me to feel that way.

She said a few times about how hard it would be to see "The Baby" (a reference to our puppy) but, and I quote "I can't have everything I want... Hell I can't have ANYTHING I want... Well I should have just stuck with the first statement..."

I didn't react to that at all, simply saying "Okay, well I'll see you next week W. Thanks for talking tonight. Goodnight" and hung up the phone.

The only bad part about the conversation, aside from me getting the feeling that she's SO done with our R, is now I have about 10 more days of stressing out about seeing her for the first time in about 4 months. But it certainly worked out better than having to do it over the phone. Now I can look into her beautiful eyes and hope I don't melt while I have the "Conversation"...
