Hi PM, yes, it was small but you seem to be right, it was a step. I truly expected nothing back from her as her coldness seemed to be growing. If you read thru my thread you know I sent her an anniversary email and also asked for her intentions. 5 days later I got back an email saying how she would get back to me on the matter of filing for divorce. Thats when I knew and really decided to go n/c dark and fully put in place DBing.
Surprisingly to me, I felt so much better by doing this. Excersizing some control over the sitch. So to peek out for just a moment to wish HB served 2 purposes. Doing the right thing and taking a temperature of the moment. Was surprised she even responded. ANd yes, I realize it doesn't mean alot but as you said it is indeed a step. So now I am back to n/c with no expectations of anything further from her. Unless of course she wishes me the HB for me in 3 weeks....
