Some days are better than others

[EDF]

I ended up deciding it felt more natural to give a friendly-but-not-overly-enthusiastic hello/good morning/goodbye where called for rather than a literal interpretation of never speaking unless spoken to.

Beyond the salutation however, I leave it to my wife to create interactions if she chooses to.

After days of almost no contact since confronting WW on May 17 (no texts, very little convo, and me being very busy with other activities) WW has been initiating much more these past couple days. She also gave me a compliment about my improved level of drive, and has asked me a couple times about my upcoming birthday weekend plans.

I'm validating but working hard not to seem overly enthusiastic and not to ascribe meaning to her words. She has continued to have very limited and mundane online contact with OM lately, but has not actually committed to ending things, or wanting to fix things, or expressing more remorse, or anything of that sort. This could easily be nothing, or even worse could be her just "temp checking" and throwing out some pleasantries to keep me locked in as a plan B.

Trying to walk the nuanced line between not ignoring her and being upbeat/friendly, while still giving her opportunities to realize what she will be losing if she continues her path. Gotta plan some sort of away-from-the-house GAL activity for tomorrow night.
