So, I've been trying to stay out of the house most of the day, came home to walk the dogs and have quick meal, and sure enough, was graced with a surprise from my W's walking corpse. She didn't mention anything about me not responding to her request of staying at the house alone, but said "I'm taking the dogs with me tonight, is that okay?" I said, "Yeah! that's great, you can take the dogs whenever you like to."
She asked why I was off work, told her that now that I have flexible schedule with my last I'm working from home a lot more when it's available. (I could tell this bothered her, as she feels like I put work before her a lot), but she didn't continue to ask questions about it.
She piddled around for a few minutes, I went upstairs, changed laundry, put on some jeans and came back down (I was planning on leaving). She said "Alright, well, I'm going to get out of here for a bit, see ya later", and I said "Alrighty, take care".
Out she went, and about 3 seconds later, back she came in with "Are we ever going to talk about things? About what's going on?" And I told her "I'm still just processing everything and reflecting within myself for now". She replied "You can't tell me you were happy? Were you really happy?" I just said, "I'm not comfortable telling you anything right now regarding my feelings of our relationship. Maybe sometime down the road, but as of right now I don't have anything to say."
She said, alright, and stood with the door half closed, looking around the corner at me, and I just kept doing the task at hand (I was cleaning the blender). After 5-10 seconds, she just quietly closed the door and out she went... she didn't return this time. The dogs are still here, so she'll be back soon I'm sure. I'm going to try to be 'not home' when she returns.
