More changes in WW behavior over the last 12 hours. - She went to a parenting class yesterday which is mandatory for the D and then was out until 10PM. When she got home she came into the MBR, D4 and I were sleeping. She used her phone as a flashlight and closed the bathroom door before turning on the light. This is being very considerate for her. She usually just turns on the bathroom light and doesn't care that we're sleeping. D4 and I woke up anyway. WW then came to my side of the bed, sat down and said
" I would like to sincerely apologize for every time throughout our whole M that I caused conflict in front of the kids. I was wrong to do that. I was even wrong the other night. I'm sorry and I will do my best to never do it again."
I almost passed out with disbelief. This is 2 apologies in 10 days. She hasn't apologized to me for anything in well over a year and rarely apologized during our M. I'm also 99% sure she has never said "I was wrong". I said " Thank you, That will be very good for the kids." She said "Yes it will"
- D4 asked WW about a dozen times to "come sleep with Daddy and me." That had to be pulling on her heart strings
-this morning she gently asked if it would be alright to send D4's leftovers from the night before with her to school (D4 and I had gone to dinner). Again, she's being overly considerate.
-Not going to be friends (from Sandi's story) She later wanted to speak about the parenting plan and seeing another mediator. She said she would hope we'd be able to figure everything out and have a relationship like she does with her current XH. I told her " We are not going to be friends. I will do everything to protect D4 and I know you will too but we are not going to be buddy buddy." She said "Good, I don't want to be friends." I said " I am not going to be friends with someone who would D our family." She said "you forget what you did on Aug 16th, 2014 (the day I was unfaithful). I left the room.
Validating? - I went back and knocked on the bathroom door. She said "No thank you." I could hear her crying. Through the door I said " I know you are really hurting from Aug 16th. You have really been hurting for the last 15 months. The last 15 months have been really hard for you." She didn't respond. She turned on her hair dryer and I left.
