So I just had a surprisingly civil conversation with STBX. I'm right in the middle of a refinance and his 2013 W2 is missing and we need it to close. I had to call him to ask him to get a copy from his HR. He bent over backwards to help out when I told him this was causing me stress. Heck- he was almost warm. It was like a conversation we might have had before BD. Maybe he was just mirroring my tone.
I've read on here that occasionally people get glimpses of their "old" spouse - and its sure weird when it happens. Still don't miss him though.
I believe its the first time I've initiated a phone call that wasn't prearranged since BD.
