Thanks for being there - I don't know what I would do without this forum. I do know that I wouldn't have been able to stick to DB'ing without all the help and support!

Unlike your W, Tim, my H hasn't really been angry during all of this drama (except when I told the OW's H - that made him mad - filed for D and bought house shortly thereafter). He has been saying since the beginning that he wanted to "be better friends than we ever had before". One of the reasons he said he wanted a D was because we weren't really friends. I told him exactly what daybyday said "I have plenty of friends that don't bail on me when things get rough". So, I don't necessarily think this initiating of contact is anything more than him wanting to be friends. But, I just want to be civil coparents. Also, he told me that he was being nice to me back in the Fall because he wanted to use collaborative divorce, so I am pretty suspicious of this new contact. Maybe he wants to offer me a settlement or something. I don't really trust him…..not sure if I ever will trust him again come to think of it.

Last text was an hour ago (he is on 8-hour car ride to golf with S15, so he may be bored):

H: R u and S12 going to bball game? Did you sell your tickets?

Me: Headed to watch now with friend (S12 had 2 tests at school). Yes, I sold other tickets.

H: Bummer. Enjoy

By the way, I am not going out to watch, sitting here on my couch cheering on my team. But he doesn't have to know that :-).
