Wife left me three weeks ago!

A noticeable shift in attitude, W has just called asking for a favour: she now wants me to pick the kids up. She offered to give me petrol money for doing so. Maybe to justify me picking the kids up but she said, oh didn't you say you were coming up for an hour to see the kids. We also settled some outstanding finance issues, i.e. money she owes me. It was quite a pleasant conversation, a distinct lack of animosity from her.

I'm not getting too excited. She may just be being nice because it's quite a trek on 4 buses (2 there, 2 back) should she pick the kids up. Even so though, she has been spiteful right up until a few days ago so maybe there is a slight softening of her attitude. She asked about the house again. I said I want to sell it. She said it may take a long time as it needs quite a bit of work doing on it (I don't think myself but I'm not going to disagree to dragging the sale out).

Let's see how an hour in her folks' house goes. I will mention taking the kids out tomorrow again...but I won't invite her.
