My w wanting a divorce seems to involve a long term plan. She wants to be friends but wants me to eventually live close by because apparantly, my D8 might need to go back home if she needs her mom when visiting me!
The friendship is controlled by her and if I cross her, the friendship is affected. I don't have any friends like this...they just wouldn't be...friends!
I agree that there is a degree if manipulation. She doesn't want to be married, other men can't meet her expectations so keeping me in the friendzone allows her to call on me when she needs support. I would always help with the kids but don't want to be taken for a fool.
She will get plenty of space as I will need mine to GAL and 180. I wonder if and how a w attitude changes after space....
I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?
