My W did come down for Trick or Treat tonight. It turned out to be interesting. My W and I were alone for awhile, outside of the kids coming by. My S was out with some neighbors. The weather wasn't that great, it was about 40 degrees and kind of drizzling. However, it was interesting because it was the longest period of time my W and I have been together in a long time. She really got a heavy dose of the new JB that's developed over the last 20 months. I maintained a very upbeat and positive attitude - it's pretty much ingrained in me by this point and frankly, comes pretty naturally. My W asked me on more than one occasion if I knew the people I was just being friendly to and the answer was they were just strangers. She made a few remarks about all the friends I have now - she's recognized that. Other than that, it was a lot of small talk between the two of us, nothing heavy at all.
My S was done Trick or Treating about 1 hour in probably due to the weather. That left the three of us passing out candy together. It was kind of weird TBH. It was a little bit reminiscent of when we were still together and we all got along well.
Toward the end, we had the chili I had made this morning. I made some brownies for dessert, too. My W liked the chili and complimented it and enjoyed the brownie, too. I had fun preparing everything this morning, so it was fine with me.
I'm not sure what, if any, effect the evening had on my W. I'm also not sure of the impact it had on me. I'm expecting some sort of a pull back, but then again, I think she's even growing weary of the pull backs.
I'm willing just to let it ride and see where it goes. I don't have any really big expectations. TBH, I'm not even sure what I want at this point. I'm really enjoying my new life I've gotten for myself and I don't want anything to drag me down.
