AnotherStander, I was wondering that myself. I tend to answer the phone calls/texts simply because she has S with her. I need to be a bit more difficult to reach. Heh.
She actually asked me to call her while I was at lunch today. She was taking S to his dr appt, and she wanted to know how the new job was going, tell me about some of the issues that the store she works at was having (it's actually my job to work on that stuff, too), and just find out how my day was going. Before I got off work, she asked if I would call again after work, this time it was her asking me if I would keep S overnight Friday in a couple of weeks (on her weekend) because she had to work, but wanted to pick him up Saturday morning so she could spend a little time with him. I told her I'd be glad to keep him overnight. Then she proceeded to ask more about how my day was, etc. She did mention that she's really glad that we're getting along better now, and that she thinks it's better for everyone that we are. I said "I'm glad, too" but I didn't pursue the conversation down that path.
Definitely going to keep this up. I would love to be more mysterious, but now that I'm working again, that's a bit difficult. Especially since she works for the same company (just in a different location).
It does feel like this is going way better than it was before. I am still going to keep up the DB for sure. If nothing else, at least we're both trying to be more reasonable, which is good for S ultimately.
Thanks, everyone! I've still got a lot of work to do.
