Thank you Sandi. I know it's belated but I didn't see your post until now; been reading other threads but apparently ignoring my own smirk.

Update : I feel I'm more detached but still think about the sitch almost daily especially when I see D11. Communication w WW is minimal at most and only re D11. It's obvious we're becoming more and more strangers with every passing day. Is this normal to become strangers so quickly after 12 years of marriage? How would the talk of potential R be even possible down the road when we're COMPLETELY estranged?

Question for you and others (probably mostly women - Blu, 25 & others) on how to properly handle a couple of things with WW:

Less Important: in the last couple of weeks she sent 2 catalog purchases to my (formerly marital) address. I'm not sure if it's because she feels they may disappear if left at apartment complex where she now lives or because she wants cc billing and shipping addresses to be the same. I gave the packages to her when I saw her at D exchanges. I see it as a tiny favor and not a big deal. I don't particularly want to have that discussion as I don't think it's worth it. Is it being too soft or doormat-ish? Do you think it needs to be addressed with her to not send it here or just leave it alone?

More important: Our annual car insurance renewal is coming up at the end of this month. I want to kick her off it and tell her to get her own. She obviously will be very "unhappy" as she's not used to paying for it for the last 12+ years. Keep in mind that I cut her off completely with everything else other than D's extracurricular activities and medical insurance. Currently she's not asking for child support, alimony or any other financial help either out of pride or stupidity or not wanting to p--s me off and lose plan B. What do you think is the best way to approach this conversation and potential fallout? Thank you.
