Interesting turn of events this afternoon. My W is home with the all of the kids today so I sent her a txt to the effect of wanted to say hi and hope your having a good day.
Got the following response: "Thx I'm actually having a very bad day. U know who (referring to OM) is ignoring my texts but what else is new. I think it's finally over. I don't see him hanging on to anything. I know full well I deserve this so I can only blame myself. Sorry just venting"
I don't know that this ends things with the OM, but this is where some of the listening and being available to vent comes into play. I at least know what she's thinking/feeling at this moment. I'm sure it will change, but in some ways it's good to see this happen so that maybe she hits the bottom that she needs to hit in order to kind of snap out of it.
I'm definitely going to give her lots of space right now, last thing she'll want is me "hovering" to make sure she's doing okay. I replied to the effect of if there is anything I can do to help you through this let me know. I'm going to leave it at that.
We'll see what happens over the next couple of weeks.
