Why doesn't it surprise me to see that your xh is still trying to get your attention. He is so predictable but seems to be just a tad bit kinder in his comments.
I don't blame you for staying on your toes with him. I'm happy that you've come to the place where you are able to deal with him without reacting. That is the key for all of us. One that I'm having trouble with. I try so hard not react while talking to my h but there are times when I want to just say what I want to say. I did that yesterday afternoon and he didn't like it one bit. He came just short of accusing me of trying to delay the d process. It's taking longer than he hoped and of course I must be the reason. There's more to it but I will post on my own thread instead of hijacking yours!
I feel like I'm reading a soap opera when I come to your thread. One that I look forward to. More than the drama I enjoy reading about how you've made your way to the peace that comes through your posts.
I hate to admit this but I do remember the Paul Simon song that you mentioned.
