Monday-I exploded in a series of text that I was tired of all of this. I was filing and it was going to be ugly. That any recent A would be exposed and hidden money found. Essentially dumping her. She was surprised and shaken. I then went Dark.


You threatened her, of course she was shaken. You go all week without speaking, and then you text her about having sex. Not sure how you see that as going dark......or dumping her. confused

Last night before sleep, I asked her if she had a good weekend. She said, "yes,....how about you?"
I replied, "I did, but I wondered if I had lowered my defenses too soon." No reply.


Actually, it looks as if you are shooting yourself in the foot. You said you wanted to keep your options open. What does that mean, and how is it connected to what you said to her?

I don't see anything from her that indicates she is wanting back in the M. You are making statements to her that you should not be saying.

I want to set the record straight and lay down some terms if this is the beginning of a new situation. I want to do it right.


I think you are reading too much into last weekend. I suggest that you don't say anymore right now. Before you start laying down terms..........you have to recognize what truly is a new beginning.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
