The begining of the rest of my new life? (3)

[Ripe]

Hi, Fogg.
How are you, my friend?
How is your gym commitment?
I cannot speak for you, but separation has been my best motivation to keep in shape.
For the first time in my life I have a six pack!!
I am eager for Summer to come so that I can show it around.
if you update your thread I will read your answer there.

Well, yesterday I again did something very much anti-DB.
Against all advice and conscious about that, I went to STBXW's house and told her something along these lines:
If you feel that not all doors are closed, the kids and I would like for you to come with us to Disneyland.
I made her see, I hope, I was not blackmailing her with a trip I know she would like to take.
Then, I also told her I would not be her friend outside of the marital relationship and that I could not keep the current close emotional attachment for my own sake. She was silent. In the end she said we would still need to talk to each other because of the kids and I said obviously, but not like right now.
She then asked if that meant that the way we have been interacting lately would change. I said yes. This surprised her. I see that for her how we are right now is very pleasant and that she would like to keep this warm friendship.
Finally, finally I told her that's not going to happen.
