Feeling a lot better after the best sleep for 3 nights.
Last night went well. After tiptoeing around each other for 10 minutes we both relaxed and conversation was good. After dinner (I cooked for me and the boys W wasn't hungry)we watched TV as a family. W made me a cup of tea - a 180 for her! I helped get boys to bed and then excused myself early (9:15) so that W wouldn't get all cosy on the sofa watching her favourite TV shows. She watched them alone.
This morning W greeted me by her pet name for me - the first time in two weeks. W is working from home as childminder is away on holiday. As soon as boys were off to school I excused myself and went out.
Soon I'm off for a two hour bike ride then a longish drive to my hotel for the next two nights. I detaching from her mentally and physically - to change the dynamics - she wont use me as a BFF or a crutch to vent her problems.
I intend not to text or phone her unless strictly necessary. I will also SKYPE the Boys before bed .
Onwards and upwards
