Well, against my better judgment I allowed myself to have a little bit of a relationship talk with W today at her request. Nothing too heavy but she did want to "check in" and see where I/we are. I was kind of surprised because she almost never initiates this type of conversation (of course neither do I these days), but apparently since neither of us has discussed the MC appointment over the past few days since we had it, she was wondering what I thought about some of the things she had to say in the session. I tried to keep it short and sweet and said that while I felt like I was aware of most of what I had done to hurt her during our marriage, I obviously had not realized the depth/extent of that pain, and for that I was sincerely sorry.

Probably shouldn't have taken the opportunity, but I did try to do a little fact finding and asked her if she had had any further contact with the lawyer she had told me her IC had put her in touch with. Kind of bothered me that she lied and said "no", but I didn't let on that my FIL had already told me she was in semi-regular contact with the lawyer. I guess the real point is to not ask questions like that in the first place.
