Divorce because I betrayed her trust - PART 6

[DaB35]

Got a text from W yesterday (Monday) morning, about 10am:

"Hi, I'm home now. Please say thank you to your sister and parents for the present. It is lovely and a very kind gesture. I haven't been very organised with cards and things this year. As you know there's an awful lot of pressure and stress at the moment. But I'm very touched your family would send me anything for Christmas."

I waited a long time to reply. I was geuinely busy - gig and gym. I replied 6 hours later:

"You're welcome. I can see how you would feel pressured/stressed and how that would make things difficult. I will say thanks to my parents when I get back tonight."

Slight validation in my response; I didn't tell her what I was up to which explained my delayed response (mysterious!); and remained polite.

No reply back from W - didn't expect one.
I think I did ok here.

Slightly nervous about the new year but also interested to see what I can achieve.
