1. Good work in keeping up with parental responsibilities. Continue to show that I am proactive and engaged in our children's lives at every level (educational, emotional, etc), and keep doing it in a way as not to make it sound like I'm criticizing or questioning my W's parenting in any way.
2. Don't "rattle the cage". Keep on my current path. Don't have any crazy thoughts about threatening the OM, etc. Allow physical separation & time to dissolve the affair.
3. Well done on responses to W regarding Thursday night's ballroom dance class, as well as the follow-up question regarding "going on a date".
4. Way too early to suggest time together. Let's wait til at least Thanksgiving before considering.
5. Since my W seems to mirror the level of interaction I have with her, try engaging her a little more in conversation, but only in small doses, and back off at the 1st sign of her withdrawing. Try to have more conversations where I have opportunities to ask her for her thoughts and opinions.
6. Don't get caught in the friend zone. I still want to show her that I'm attractive and sexy. Keep speaking her love language. Maintain cool and fun persona. Be drama-free. Let drama exist in the OM/OMW world with your W. Show that you want no part of that.
