Sounds cliche (and in our "rebuild" sitches ridiculously oversimplified as whos that?) but be yourself and dont overanalyse. I'd say something like "No problems will do. Give the kids a hug from me.". I known what you mean about the odd word here and there, personally it depends on my mood, if im in one of my "ed" moods (you know the ones from my threads!) then I may write something silly because everyone is getting something that day but not based on pet names or our relationship.
W suprised me the other day by talking about at least 6 points from our past when we had a lot of fun or when we met. Was happy about that but didnt overreact as it meant it was running through her mind at least and I wasnt just the devil incarnate but when she walked out initially and i tried that (pre-db) I would get emails and letters on why everything was my fault.
It's a fine line the UN would be proud to walk correctly at times!
Dating, mmm.
I think quite a bit of that chat is going on in my thread matey. My own thinking in *my* sitch is no, at least not yet.
That's not because I have hopes that w will sweep back to me next week or because I don't want someone in my life, if I'm honest I do, it's because I'm not in a position to be completely open to a new person without knowing if I'd want to run back if w did come back into the picture.
If its a light friendship (or a serious friendship) thats fine but anything more wouldnt be fair to my sensibilities insofar as another persons feelings - if that makes sense.
I also need to know that Im beyond codependency and my 180s (for me) are completely embedded and part of me as I dont want to repeat the mistakes (on my side) that got me here if I head into a new relationship.
I dont know if I will be ready tomorrow, next week, next month or in a years time I just know, not today
