Well yeah, let me clear up the date thing. It's not a date date, just dinner with someone that knows what I'm going through and asked if I wanted to get out and have fun night. She knows I'm all in for my marriage and I am very clear about that. I def know that I am in no emotional position to actually date anyone nor do I want to. As far as what I'm an I doing to follow Chucks advice? I have hit the gym very hard and changed my body a lot in the last 2 months I have updated my wardrobe and changed my look a bit. I have begun taking guitar lessons which I have wanted to do for a long time I have said NO to her when I believe she expected me to say yes, for example, she wanted me to call in sick to work so that she could go to her work cause her sitter fell through. I said yes to helping her move a small couch with my truck when I really feel she expected me to say no. So trying to do the opposite of what she thinks I will do. And as far as being mysterious I dress up when dropping the kids off to allow her to think I'm going out, I am vague with question she asked when they don't concern the kids or money, and that's really all I've had a chance to do. She really has not given me many opportunities to be mysterious but I'm just not volunteering any info.
And yes to the half agree with her. Listen and not arguing when she seems irrational.
Question for you though: I mentioned in my post that she sees no reason that we can't go on our planned vacation in August and she mentioned to her dad that she still plans on coming. How should I respond to her? The time together may help but am I allowing her to walk on me by basicay giving her a ride to her moms while her dad and I and our fee boys go camping the whole time? It's 2 months away and a Lot can happen but if it comes up now how should I respond?
