I see Wonka. I was going to ask you in the morning about this, but your post nailed it for me.
As soon as my W made her first L appointment, she got friendly again. It was a complete 180 from what I'd experienced thus far. She brought up inside jokes about our M, laughed about funny times we had together, while also letting me know that she was really left no choice in leaving the M because the job prospects in her town were so much better and that was the Universe's way of making it clear for her. And then scratching my neck during hugs goodbye when I tried to pull away.
Her behavior has been completely different and loving SINCE she filed. So this makes perfect sense.
Again, thank you for clarifying this for me and for anyone else reading it. This puts my mind at ease at how this all still fits in DB wise.
With much appreciation,
PP
