Hmmmm. I don't thing hanging out with him is stupid, esp. since he initiated the idea. As long as you keep your cool while doing so! Of course, we mustn't be too eager, either. Always the balance, right?
I understand about the mixed signals. My wife acts at once like it's over, but never actually says so. When she asked if she could come visit the cats and do laundry, I volunteered that I was going out to the book store and to lunch, instead of hanging around here, which would probably have gone bad.
This morning she texted asking what I had told my mom, because she was surprised my mom had wished her a happy 4th. That's where I had to be very careful, but I told her I'd just said we're at the 2 separate houses right now, but no details with her or other family because friends and family take sides.
