Thanks bttrfly and srt. I'm not always on keel but I feel like I'm slowly getting there.

I had to get up early to go out of town today. W talked about coming over last night so she didn't have to get up so early but texted me last night saying she would come over in the morning. She woke me up texting this morning that she was there. She came in all dressed and ready(didn't look right) and asked for a blanket to lay down. I grabbed my stuff and had made the bed so I told her she could lay down in my room which she hesitantly did. She was acting weird. I went to get my keys and there was a huge half-empty pop on the counter. I'm pretty sure she just got back into town when she came over. Step inlaws are 3-4 hours away and a couple hours from where om lives. This sent me spinning for a couple hours this morning. Did I just pay for and fix her car to do this? Idk, I could be crazy but I feel like a fool either way, if it did happen or for thinking it when it didn't. After a couple hours I was able to let it go. She's been acting weird for a couple weeks so who knows. I have noticed she will spend time/open up/etc then distance. Time yet again to dig for more patience and consistency.

Srt, I caught up on your situation tonight. Yes, there seem to be a lot of similarities. i will try to keep up with you. Keep your focus on yourself and kids.

We don't live together, w moved out in March when I was out of town for work. I found out via text/email, lol. Currently w comes over in the morning and takes the kids to school and usually comes over briefly in the evening after work.
