So here's the thing....

My old Bud

Firstly, sorry to hear about your brother. Will text you separately on that.

If my counting skills are correct, it's now about six months since your D became absolute. So, having read so much on here (as you have as well), you know that's the timeframe for them to start realising that they have made a boo-boo and look long and hard at what they have done. It's also three years (virtually to the day) since she kicked this whole thing off. Hmmm....interesting.

This has now fried your mind. You're thinking about the MLC shitestorm and you're dragged back in. Deep down, you know you still have feelings, that's why it was so easy to talk to her. Did the convo cover things other than your brother? Not R talks, but did she mention things from your past? You're back in to the assumption game about food, boyfriend etc. If OM wanted to be a step dad (which by default, he has become), if he's like me, when I became a step dad, you want to be part of everyone's life in the family situation. Where was he?

You're no mug, and I have valued your opinion again and again, but, how do you want this to play out? Those pesky feelings don't tell lies to you - you know you're not done - right? Maybe she's trying to re-connect. One for somebody who has been through MLC and come out the other side.
