Last night my wife brought up mediation again while I was visiting my son and it totally ruined my visit. I asked her if we could talk after he was asleep so I could focus on my time with him. She understood this request but didn't want to talk then because it would be the end of the day and she wanted to be in the right mindset to talk.
She also brought up splitting time at a house we rented for the end of summer. I told her since we had previously been there as a family I couldn't imagine enjoying myself there just me and my son. She seemed sad about that and we discussed trying to cancel the rental.
It was a tough night.
Part of me just wants to pull this band aid and get it over with, but part of me still hopes she will change her mind as the reality of things start becoming apparent when we meet with the mediator, put the house on the market, etc.
