Thanks a lot sandi2 for checking in on me. It's really appreciated. I decided to leave the boards for a while because it had gotten counterproductive, but I came back to follow the sitches of a few people.

I've had a fairly good week, probably my best since the beginning of the sitch. I had better PMA and more perspective, especially in the first half. I had some kind of relapse in the last few days, but the average is getting better.

When I picked up the kids on Friday, D6 came with her usual load of «good news» from W's household. This time, I learnt that OM will be moving in with W by January. That's 4.5 months after they first met, so about 2-3 months into their relationship. If this is really an A that will blow up, then they might as well experience the daily routine ASAP, right?

My W keeps on emailing me random stuff during the week: stuff she wrote online for work, an article related to my work, don't throw away kids' clothes, a sexist ad, etc. I've chosen to engage with her -- you might recall that one of my issues in the couple was being unresponsive, distant -- and these emails turn into exchanges with different topics. For the first time of my sitch, I've even initiated a communication: a pic of the funny-looking rental car I got, because we had talked about it. I got an OK response, but had no expectations and no intention of making it a habit.

Of course, the dilemma is that she's very much in an R with OM. Some might think I should go dark, limit communications to kids' stuff. For now, I've decided to remain a positive presence in her life, and I don't see how my silence on such mundane exchanges would help to bring her back.
