Thanks for your input Maika, its much appreciated. I have thought about it long and hard and realised I have still been basing all my decisions regarding spending time together on the reaction I want from her. I have kept this thought with me over the weekend where we did spend family time together.

We went shopping and swimming saturday, d10 stayed with me overnight and all the next morning and then I gardened all sunday wth them, WW cooked meals for us and we interacted nicely.

She said she had noticed I'd drastically reduced my alcohol consumption in the last few months and we briefly discussed the impact alcohol had previously had on our relationship and the kids.

I feel this is significant progress compared with the months of zero MR communication from my hardened hearted WW. I realise the fact I see this as significant is because it relative to 6 months of absolutely no MR talk since BD.

Thanks again for leaving me with a thought that helps remind me to assess my intent before making a decision.
