Well, I didn't think it went that we'll last night. She stated she was still focused on divorce and didn't believe that would change. I simply stated that I respected her opinion and no amount of pleading or begging or convincing is going to change her mind and it wouldn't be fair to her for me to constantly do that. I didn't like how it was going but kept on as strong a face as possible. The only thing I added was that I wanted things to calm down before we did anything serious. At the end of the night she went back to her mother's.
This morning things changed because by 8:30am she was home. I didn't ask questions but whatever the reason I see it as an opportunity.
Since she's been home I've been employing the friendly coworker approach that I've seen people mention on here before. She's set up shop in the guest room downstairs but we've been getting along and honestly I'll take this as progress. Right now, I'm on my way out to meet a friend and will probably run some errands after. Tomorrow I'm going to get busy with some house projects and other things to stay busy and show a change in pattern.
I know at any minute she could decide to go back out but right now I can only focus on being someone that she'd want to be around rather then telling her she should be around.
