W has been out of town since Wednesday helping her dad move into a retirement community. I've been busy while she's been gone: - new fitness program (something she joined and has been encouraging me to try) - going out with friends - being a stellar dad - not replying to her texts, not answering phone when she calls...and she's called a bunch which is unusual...I called her this afternoon but only when I had a minute - I've been sleeping so well while she's been out of town, it's been really refreshing, actually.
She's back on Tuesday, and we have some family activities for the remainder of the week which is usually really nice and special. I know our clergy is preparing some remarks that will really speak to her when we see him at services (he usually does, but for some reason I think his appeal will be more resonant to her this time. I know he's going to talk about the power of resentments and what happens in one's mind in the space between action and reaction).
I did say ILY on the phone (as did she) when we hung up. I'm glad she's helping her dad, it's meaningful to all of them.
There's still a lot of space between us. No D or R talks in almost 10 days. I had asked her a couple of weeks ago that we not do anything before the end of September. Can't tell if she's just passing the time, or what is going on. As someone said on another post...limbo stinks.
First call w/DB coach on Monday, we'll see where that leads.
Question for the boards: "Don't believe anything she says, and 50% of what she does." I may be too literal, but I really don't understand this. If she's calling and texting and emailing every day while she's out of town, is that something that she's "doing"? What does "does" mean, in this context?
