AS, of course it's me that's keeping me in the holding pattern. It's been a year since she moved out, and six months since the divorce. I've had friends and family ask me if I was going to begin dating and even try to set me up. I feel down sometimes, but usually I just feel sort of embarrassed. I still think we gave up too soon, and I can't tell whether she would ever be willing to reconsider or not. The fact that she's unwilling to even talk to me about anything related to our R suggests to me that she has not moved on, but I quickly get into mind reading mode once I start in this direction . . . I guess I'm in a holding pattern because I'm still choosing to wait.
Reb, our S's birthday is next month. We settled on a theme (Minecraft) and I'm having fun planning it. I invited my XW to help out with it, but she told me she would have something with him separately. I considered pushing for a joint celebration, but worry she would just see that as using this event to control her actions. I made a point of saying I hadn't realized how much work these things took. She seemed to appreciate that.
