New LBS dealing with WW Part 2

[Joe2017]

Sandi: I think it scares me because I have been so steadfast in my love that it almost feels wrong. As if I'm no better than WW for closing my heart off. I know that seems silly, but I still believe in us and I feel like there is a chance. Maybe I'm just naive.

Surfer: That advice is so solid, I can't thank you enough. What you describe is almost exactly what I've been doing.

She did text me to ask if her son could meet up with my cousin (who is in town for three days) for the holidays. WW's son loves my cousin to death. Unfortunately, WW framed it in a way that gaslighted me.

Instead of responding to the TM, I waited a few hours and sent an 8-word email to her, simply telling her to text my cousin. I did not address any inflammatory or dramatic portions of her text. It was basically "Cousin wants to see your son. Text them."

I just know WW's son has always loved my cousin and they always do something together each year. I didn't want to deprive him on the last year of us being a family.

Other than that, it's been one text each day from her.

Looks like that is changing though. Not a peep from her all day today. Complete radio silence.
