The weekends are always hard but I'm trying to do things and not initiate contact with her. She texted to our little family group to find out what our son had done at basketball. He didn't reply so I told her briefly. She thanked me with a kiss icon. I didn't respond. Spent Saturday night with other members of her family. Posted photos of her son and me having fun to an extended family group. On Sunday ran my second race in a personal best. She sent me a thumbs up. Today she texted to ask after my weekend and congratulate me on my race. I replied briefly but in a friendly way. She added she had seen some nice photos I had posted of the race. I didn't continue texting. Trying to be friendly but distant she has said that she wants to be involved in our lives as much as I'll let her. Am I doing the right thing? I want her to know that my life hasn't stopped that I'm not paralyzed into inaction (even though I miss her all the time and wake up dreaming about every night!). Should I withdraw even more or let her be part of our lives? Or would that be giving her everything she wants?
