Hey OTW,

I think your right. I will respond thanking her for letting me know and what I am doing with the kids that night.

When I look back and see how bad my W treated me, I think she was trying to get me to cheat on her, or want to leave the MR. When she talked about taking a break, she was trying to put words in my mouth that I was unhappy and wanted to end the MR just like her. That we should just do it fast and nice because this is what we both want. That we will still be friends and live close to each other ready to help and be there for each other.

Oh how it has not gone that way she planned. I guess she did not treat me as bad as she thought. That she did not break me. But the time she put into it, the effort to not be close to me, the energy to resent me. If she put all that into just working on her own happiness and communicating with me her true feelings, and if I was open to see the big picture, we would be in a different place right now.

I cant believe I am on this path. Having gone through my W EA, now to be faced with who know what's next.

One day at a time.
