So....I carried through with my coaches suggestion. I left out the part about pushing her towards another man. When I discussed it with her, I brushed through the part about the marraige being too far gone, but I did agree with her about that and supported her feelings. I asked that we remain freinds and be the best possible co-parents we could. She seemed to be somewhat receptive to that, of course she would be given the other option. She did express that she was not ready to start "hanging out" yet, but it felt like there was a window open for that to be an option at a later date. She was a little skeptical(I think)about my new idea to simply be friends, and she mentioned that she was game as long as it wasn't a ploy to woo her back. She expressed that she had wanted to work on a friendship with me for some time. I know I was already being misleading by using this tactic, so I confessed that I wanted to put everthing behind us and just see if we could be friends. I told her, "however, I cannot gurantee that I won't want to pursue you at some point, maybe down the road" and left it at that. This was all done over the phone when she was still extremely hot after the "stalking incident". Originally she didn't even want to speak with me, but all in all the call ened nicely. As of today, I have only heard from her regarding our daughter. We made a couple light fluffy comments and that is where we are today.....Now I wait and watch.
