Newbie, need help with WAW!

[180Man]

You say you are going to be 'strong'.

Maybe start with your examples of what you think she may say and how youd respond?

Okay, got a few more of these I have been thinking about today. I need some help with some of them.


Her: Are you still going to church?
Me: Yes (this is the truth and I don't think there's much else to say...)

Her: I want you to sign these divorce papers
Me: I agreed to come to hear you out, that's all. I'll have to think about it. (take them or not??)

Her: If she tries to give me her rings back
Me: No I gave them to you, those are yours forever, I don't need them back.

Her: I've been worried about you hurting yourself.
Me: Thanks, but I'm doing fine. (And yes, DB, I am fine. I was pretty distraught at first and her step-mother violated my trust and told my W how I was immediately after it happened. Grrrr, inlaws! I didn't have a choice, step-mom was there immediately after my W dropped the bomb and stayed with me at the house for a week. She flew out from the other side of the country to support me specifically. Amazing woman, heart in the right place, but...not helpful to have her trying to be the middle man.)

Her: Are you thinking about telling my boss what happened? (this would ruin her and OM's careers)
Me: What you tell your boss is none of my business anymore

Her: What questions do you have? OR Do you have any questions for me?
Me: No, the facts seem pretty clear.

Backup plan to redirect the conversation: How's your step-father doing? (he had a stroke a few weeks ago) Open to additional ideas for changing the subject.

How to end the conversation on my terms without being awkward?
Me: Ok, this has been a really good conversation. I'm going to go home and think about things. See you later. (if SHE goes in for a hug, just give her a regular friend type hug) Is "See you later" too much, should I use "Take care of yourself" instead? That seems somewhat final...

Ones I don't have good answers to....

Her: I think you should date other women
Me: .....

Her: I think we should just be friends
Me: .....

And I know this has been covered on DB before and I'm going to go back and read some of those threads again, but...do I wear my ring? I know it's a personal choice. I'm wearing it now, it means a lot to me. Not the ring itself, I'm actually wearing an $8 silicon ring I bought last summer so I don't lose my finger at work, but the meaning of the ring is important to me. That being said, I think not wearing it may enhance the mysteriousness of what I'm thinking. Yes, no?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
