Another update (!)

W:

"We haggled a bit. That was after a few offers so higher than they originally said. You and I both need to email the estate agent to confirm in writing we agree with the offer.
OK can you be in charge of sorting out the RICS surveyor then? No idea about dates, but had a call from the buyer's conveyancer, and they're starting to get the ball moving."

OK. So this is it.

I don't trust her to sort out the surveyor, so shall I do it? I don't want to, but maybe that's down to having emotional attachments to the house.

I read something in the Quotes section on being Friends vs Friendly

[quote\]"Someone who divorces me without valuing me enough to try and salvage our M, who doesn't believe that promises and vows are important enough to make a change, who has no real remorse, and who still thinks only of what he wants, is not someone I want in my life.

Those actions show a lack of integrity, a lack of reliability and inner strength, a lack of kindness, and a willingness to cut and run when the going gets tough."[/quote]

Not sure I'm at the stage where I say 'I don't want W in my life', but the sentiment of not valuing what we had and just being happy to throw it away so quickly, with seemingly no thought of wanting to put effort in and running away when things are tough or very bumpy, is very pertinent.

For what I did in the M and R, I have complete remorse. I'm done with the shame, I've dealt with it and left it behind. I've moved on in the sense that I've improved as a person, but I haven't moved on from W as it's only been 6 months.

Recon would be nice but I am not pushing. I am not being overtly nice to W but just pleasant and polite. And keeping my distance. She's keeping hers. I will maintain this.

Am I doing the right stuff here?
