Well Steve I think it's more texting as "what it is." She knows where I'm coming from as I do her. It's probably from different places at this point but I think that aspect should only pertain to us spending live time together. If she wants to keep the lines of communication open that's fine, but if she wants to her together again...it's dinner and a band or nothing...and that's without the "this isn't a date" BS. As a single man pushing 50, if I'm going to give up a weekend night to a woman, it's not going to be so she can hug me at the end of the night. So yeah I guess if she wants to shoot me a text every now and again so be it.
I haven't had and don't have the need to text her or talk to her, so I don't. I guess it's an arrogance in me (that I'm not sure is a good thing or a bad thing overall) that tells me that she can't stay away. Deep down I always knew one day she'd seek me out again. There's a reason that all of the women I've been with in my life always said of me something to the effect of " you're one of a kind" and "there's only one ItHurts" and the like. I am aware that I'm not like most guys. WAW knows this better than anyone and she was always quick to boast about it before we started having our marriage problems. So I guess I just believe deep down that she needs me more than I need her. For whatever reason it is...she needs me in her life...if it's friendship then so be it. After all as Joseph Campbell once said "Love is a friendship set to music." So I guess we'll see if the juke box strarts spinning some tunes soon enough.
