Although now I am sad after having seen her. And I know for awhile I will be hoping she contacts me again. But I am going to stay with NC. Let her initiate.


I think you handled this very well. She's just trying to exert power and manipulate you, and you didn't fall for it.
I'm starting to see my WW in the same manner. She files for divorce yet wants me to do all the husbandry tasks, and pay for everything. We had dinner out tonight and she was acting the same way again. I executed Cadet's plan and did the opposite of what I would normally do, i.e. do her bidding. She was surprised and I didn't say anything.

It is just sad that our relationship has fallen so far. But I guess that is the theme throughout this site.
