At the MC yesterday we established that, for the coming week, she wants "to be left alone", I want to have OM kept away from me, and we will say nothing to each other about D or R.
So we now have a room of the condo "fenced off" with curtains, and last night after returning from MC she put herself in there, drew the curtains, and didn't come out.
This morning she was pleasant to me-- said good morning, volunteered a few scraps of small talk, sent me a link to an interesting news story. I'm not fooled. I know that she woke up at least an hour before I did and spent the entire morning chatting with OM; I know that once she left for her commute she kept chatting with him the whole time. I don't have to snoop to know that (and I'm not). So I'm going to continue with my plan to go to different Meetups each evening this week. I just need to kick these stupid ruminating thoughts out of my head so I can focus again on the job hunt and gain my financial independence. It's difficult to take effective action with your hands tied.
