Another angle I didn't think of. She may very well be using this "talk" to cake-eat with the family dinner. Interesting perspective. Backed-up by the fact that she is inviting me to do other things together.
R2C,
That quote is spot-on. I like the way that Coach laid it out and it's certainly a powerful stance to take. Do you believe that I should go into this discussion with that list ready to go? What issues do you see with my approach of deferring creating that list until after the unlikely event that she does want to R? Am I misinterpreting the timing of that list?
Ovr,
Thanks!
So I have a few general questions - she has recently been trying to engage in conversations outside of kids, finances, etc. She asks me how I'm doing, tells me about x or y thing she bought. I do not respond to these texts. I don't feel compelled to respond to these and frankly they seem off. Is ignoring these idle fishing attempts the correct response? Is there a more appropriate action to take?
And some advice requested; she wants to take S3 to an overnight thing for his b-day and invited me to stay the night with them. My initial reaction is to say no to the overnight, but yes to spending time with him for his celebration. Any issues with that as a response?
