What would put you in a better light? Her finding you sitting on the couch as if you had nothing better than to sit and judge her? Or going out, doing something positive for you, coming back in a good mood, greeting her cordially if she is still awake without anger or judgment?



hi Claire7 you seem to be more forgiving and understanding on your advice then that which I was getting on other boards. So I want to run this by you.

My WAW wants us to do things together like go to the gym, eat dinner out etc. Our Collaborative divorce coach says he's confused, she seems to like me or love me in every way, want to do things with me, but hen at the same time says she is not in love with me the way she is the OM.

Anyhow others have given me the below advice, what can you suggest or do you suggest is the best way to handle her being in the home with me while still having a new relationship ?

Here is the other advice:
Is your Man Cave ready? Did you follow our advice to build yourself a refuge to get away from her?

Go in your Cave and stay there as much as you can when she's milling about the house. When you are ready to leave, have your keys in hand so all you have to do is waltz out the door. By all means, don't be a prisoner in your own home, but don't find excuses to be around her either.

No engaging with her in the common areas...
