Well, breaking news has interrupted my weekend recap. Got the first R and D related communication from W since the paperwork was started. (Via FB message of course... well, at least it's communication.... just one more thing permanently archived somewhere).

I'm going to paraphrase a bit thanks to google indexing everything on this site.

Basically, she told me of someone she works with who was separated from her H for a few years, and now they're getting back together. They still did stuff together during the separation. She says she doesn't want to be physical, but likes companionship and wants independence right now. She said it could be 2 yrs before anything changes.

She wants to know if I want her to stop the D procedures and stay separated. She thinks its good for use.

But...

She said she doesn't want to give me false impressions about anything else since I made it clear I didn't want to know. But it doesn't mean she knows what she want for her future.

That last part implies OM (The Contractor) may still be in the wings. That bothers me of course, but it could just be a warning for me so I don't overreact. I *want* to know, of course... Have to really think about how to approach that topic.

I haven't answered yet. I think I will tell her I'm thinking it over and leave it at that for a day at least. I do need to ponder. Now that she's stated her intentions, I need to figure out what mine are.
