The wood floor pics were weird of you to send. Her reply was better than what I would have come up with. ONE way she could have seen your text was in a negative light, as if you were telling her "another thing to miss" and punishing her. Wasn't this something she had wanted to do while you were married but you refused? So now you are showing her?
Let her hear of the changes from your son or see them from her tiny view from the crack of your door.
If you want, you can say something if it ever rains there, like "Come in out of the rain/dust storm", etc.
OR stand outside the house like you "get" that she's not comfortable...I probably would not do that, but I could see why you might.
I am also glad you have had some decent dates. Just hearing from "normal" women that you are a decent guy DOES HELP.
When I was dating as a separated woman, I met two weird guys, one good guy and one very good guy. Looking back, it makes me feel pretty good to know that while I am with the right man, I think
there are other men out there who would also be good company. Some of them have flaws my h does not have, but some do not have his flaws.
Who knows what might have happened if we had continued? I don't mean that I have second thoughts. I mean to say, even if you and your ex wife don't work out
(and the longer she goes without working on herself, the less likely it is you'll want a reconciliation)
there are other women out there, who have something to give you and whom you could love. That's it.
Also, don't dismiss the concept of another woman loving your son like her own. What will that do to him? It'll give him another source of adult affirmation, that's what. IT's a good thing, not a bad thing. Same goes for OM, if your wife ever opens up to one.
You sound mostly great Crimson...congrats on the trip especially. And please, truly,
go dim.
