Great job on the party Defacto, especially in light of your sitch.

I've come to the conclusion that all relationships are just weird, and divorces are no different. It sounds like your W definitely misses your family, as do you. Yet she calls you, the person she left to talk about it. There's something to that.

Had lunch with a friend who's been divorced for six years, and he said that his wife called him at 2am the week before to say she had anxiety. He asked why she wasn't calling her bf (the guy she left him for) and she said she'd rather talk to him! Crazy making.

Such is life. All you can do is what you're doing, moving forward. Your XW may call you and tell the you the same thing long after the D is final. It's hard to feel the "half pull", the "I miss our family buuuut, I'm still not stopping the D". I had the same thing with my STBXW asking me to dinner the other night. All you can do is try to shake it off and chalk it up as part of the process.
