As for the paperwork, I suppose I will just sit back and say nothing about it. W knows where I stand at the moment. If she wants to talk, then she knows I'm open to talk. I was just wondering what she could be thinking based on trying to figure out what to do. Do I just sit back and say nothing for days, week or months if she says nothing about it? And is this her way of testing me by just ignoring the paperwork all together? I ask this, because I wonder if this is about respect.
Is she suppose to sign the agreement for the child care schedule or anything else to return to the lawyer within a certain window of time? You may need to check with his office. If your W doesn't mention the email in a reasonable time frame, then explain there is deadline.
I hope you and your W can be civil while celebrating S13's BD.
It makes it rather difficult with the son's BD and the anniversary, also. Just try to get through the next few weeks behaving as a man of honor. I hope your W will not decide to discuss it in front of son.
Good luck. I hope you have an enjoyable time.
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!
