WAW - managing limbo period

[40free]

And a quick update from today. Was kind of wondering if W was going to take the opportunity to have the chat this morning whilst the kids were out, but she didn't. Not sure what she is waiting for tbh, but I can wait if she can.

So I'm just carrying on doing my thing. The new me gets up at 6.15am, heads out for a run or a swim (the latter today), and then am back in time to see the kids off to school. She has noted this is new, but is now used to it. I take myself to my home office, she takes herself to hers, and we carry on with our day. The odd pleasantry during the day about the kids or some chores or other. No R talk.Then the kids come back and we are back into our 'be a normal parent' roles. Wonder how long we'll go on like this for..

One interesting thing did happen though - S17 messaged me to see if I would bring his sports kit to school at lunchtime as he had forgotten it. I said yes. I left with it telling W what I was doing as I went. Was out for maybe an hour. Came back and then she went out, but I noted from her search history that she had googled "car tracking services" at the exact time I went out. Made me smile. She's clearly wondering if I'm up to something! Funny. I'm not of course, but funny to get some insight into what goes on in her head. Put me in a good mood, at least for a little while. LRT does work!

I do have some questions as to how to play the R chat when it does eventually come, but I'll perhaps send later. Interested in your expert views - whether to (1) agree with everything she says, validate and go with whatever she suggests (within reason), or (2) defend myself on the gripes, tell her how I feel (so at least its a 2-way exchange of views) and then agree a way forward.

DB'ing would say (1) is the way to go, but (2) will be very tempting...

Anyway I'll be more specific in my next post. Got work to do.
