Staying off the ride 2 - Leaning Back

[Tumbling]

So it's 5am here. I've been awake since 230am. Funny dreams that I will blame on the wine at supper.

I remember Alkaline Thoughts preparing for his W coming to collect stuff and I want to be ready in case the R stuff comes up. It will be the elephant in the room afterall.

Here goes with my potential responses.
Feel free to amend.

1. He states he wants to divorce

Well, that's not what I want but it's probably for the best as we can't go on like this. I'd prefer to remain married as I believe we could fix this but if that's what you want then I won't stand in your way.

2. He asks how I feel about reconciling

I'm not sure how I feel about that.
We would have to spend time talking about what didn't work in the past, agree what a new relationship would look like and how to get there, for me to even consider it.

I'm in a really good place right now and as much as I don't want to divorce, I don't want to have our old marriage (it's dead anyway) nor rerun what we've been doing the past two years. I don't have the energy. What about you?

3. Anything else
Mmm. I'll have to think about that
That's an interesting idea. I haven't thought about it that way.

4. What do you want?
I want an open, honest relationship with someone who loves and respects me like I love and respect them. Someone who shares my values, someone who wants to hang out with me and who wants to work w me to create a relationship that is right for both of us. What about you?

5. other from me
I see the role I played in you leaving and I am sorry, I have worked and continue to work on my Self so I'm a better partner in the future with whoever I have a relationship with.

We have about 12hrs to get my ansas (answers) prepared and attitude strong on the inside, soft on the outside.

Thanks in advance for any help
