Thanks everyone! After the big argument the other day, I figured she'd probably just completely stop talking to me. But then yesterday, she wanted to have lunch with me and S (according to her, S wanted to see me). The funny thing about that is that S was busy coloring a picture the whole time. She was asking how work was, kept smiling when she looked at me, etc. Maybe nothing, maybe her starting to remember stuff, I dunno. Either way, that went well. No talk about the split, the D, or anything else like it at all. She gave me another big hug when I had to go back to work. After work, we met up so I could pick up S so he could spend the night with me. Then she texted again later to find out if bedtime went smoothly.
So. Much. Confusion. BUT...I keep standing my ground. The funny thing is that in the beginning, that didn't seem to do anything but make her run away. But now, it's almost like she gets frustrated, stomps her feet a lot less, but then chills out after a while and continues trying to be nice.
It's so weird.
What I know for sure is that whatever is going on seems to be going in a much better direction than it was before. I'm just going to keep going forward and focusing on work, S, and GAL.
We have 19 days to set a court date, otherwise the D will be dismissed. That's only 15 business days.
I'm not going to worry about setting a date...honestly, if they dismiss it, if she decides to go through with it she'll have to re-file. Or I'd have to re-file. But the way things are going, I know she can't really afford the extra for mediation, etc. And if it's dismissed, she won't be able to say she doesn't make enough to cover court fees. So if I had to, I could file, but I am still holding out in the back of my mind and just staying on task with DB and hoping to see what happens.
