Quick update:

As I finished talking with kids last night, STBX asked to talk with me. She basically apologized for building up resentment against me at the end of MR. I responded by briefly apologizing for my role in that. She then said that she didn't want me to be so stoic. I responded that I was confused as to how I was supposed to act towards her. I told STBX that I would not be able to be friends with her going forward. She said she didn't understand why this was so.

STBX wondered out loud if I ever cared for her. I responded by saying that I cared for her deeply in the past and I sincerely hope that she is happy in the future. STBX became tearful and after a few minutes of wishing her the best, I just ended the call with, "Goodbye, Xxxxxx."

If you're wondering, at no time did STBX ever say anything remotely hinting at working on R.

I know that I will obviously see STBX again but that conversation felt like a little bit of closure for both of us.
