Important stuff, thanks a ton. I don’t want this to be anything long or drawn out. I understand that I need to say it just once but hell, it’s been a long time. I have an idea how it might go.
Here’s my guess, W drops off the kids, I need to let the kids know that I would like to talk with W for a minute. That’s not to abnormal because every now and then W and I briefly talk in private without kids around.
I will ask W how’s it going? I can pretty much guarantee her response because I’ve asked her this before. She will give me a simple answer such as “I am doing fine” or “things are going ok” I need to gently convey a message stating that’s NOT what I am getting at. So I plan to say, “Seriously W, how’s it going.” I will drop it at that point but I think that’s the only nudge I need to get the ball rolling.
She will give me a somewhat short answer and I will validate. I am highly confident she will then ask me, “what about you?”. She’s good at turning the tables like that.
The short message I want to convey. W, I care for you, I love you and I will never give up on you W, no matter what happens.”
I really don’t want this to be long because I am only good at remembering a little of this stuff at one time. Especially in this kind of situation because I need to keep my composure. The only other things I MIGHT want to fit in is something about me remaining faithful. I need to play this one by ear, maybe only if she brings it up. Maybe I can simply say that I’ve remained faithful or I am married and behaving as such. I understand not to be spiteful about her poor decisions. Thoughts?
