Hi GM, To answer your question: How did you feel you were treated during the outing?
XH treated me like royalty - encouraging me to eat and drink whatever I wanted, enquiring after my health, validating, standing back to let me through doorways first, chatting sweetly, no sarcasm, no put downs, no woe-is-mes, or anything.
I kept waiting for the bomb to drop. I was sure he was about to tell us that OW is preg or that he's getting Married.
I just don't trust this nice behaviour. We'll wait and see.
At this point in time, I don't want to be his supportive friend in the future - as a long-term thing. It's all or nothing for me.
For now, I am treating him like a new acquaintance. Not saying too much, standing back from his relationship with the kids, and being polite and nice.
But yes, he better not try to bring OW near my kids' school activities.
And, I've been wondering what she would have thought about him taking me and the kids out to dinner so publicly in our shared stomping-ground. Also wondered about this the day our D was granted and he asked me out to lunch straight afterwards.
I think I'd be pis.ing myself with fear, to put it crudely, if I were her.
