J - yeah, I've left them alone basically so it's not been an issue. Just been more about my state of mind and mind reading.
Davide - Thanks for the kind words man! Yes, it is mind reading and doing with in-laws also does you no good. You were spot on
Arsh - Yes, I know this dynamic quite well too. My W and her parents are from a completely different cultural background than me and so I haven't had to deal with some of the cultural baggage that might come with this situation. I know they obviously support her, but they have also been good to me.
Nicole - They're pretty cordial and know how things went down between me and W. I don't know if they know about her EA and dating and what not, but they've seen how I have acted throughout this whole thing and I think they have respected that. I'll definitely reach out to them when D happens and let them know how I have appreciated them and this is such a great loss.
I did see them yesterday and they were cordial and chatty and inquired about my life and work. So, even if they think I effed up their daughter's life, they haven't shown any thing to that effect in their actions. I know they haven't reached out to me directly to give me space and time.
Yesterday meeting them just confirmed that I am mind reading, but also still have some of the NGS kicking around that I need to let go of. If they think I am a bad person without even finding out my side of the street, then that's on them. I can't help that.
