I hear what you are saying LH19. But I might cave in due to the Corona scare and social distancing. This will be going through the next week 3 weeks at the least.
I tell my W she may come over. She may hang here but leave every day/night. And I want to say, stop contacting the OM while here (or even better, through this social distancing process). I know you will disagree but I can't do this alone every day. Not going anywhere and being with a 3-year-old the entire time is taking its toll. I can't GAL, I can't do anything.
What is the worst that will happen? I delay the process of LRT for a couple of weeks? I am assuming the LRT has never had these issues with social distancing being part of the equation. My W has shown she wants back in; isn't there value in using time where she can't see the OM and spending time as a family? If I can remain civil and confident, don't I want to show her those things?
My friend said the other day that things happen for a reason. So after BD, being forced to stay within your social bubble and spending time together may be beneficial, no? Not to mention, if I was feeling the opposite and wanted to file for D, I couldn't even do it. They have closed all courts! I am stuck in purgatory so instead of just sitting here stalling, feeling even more depressed because I can't GAL or keep me busy by living and seeing friends, why wouldn't I try to be with my W to see what happens?
I appreciate what LH19 is saying. But I will never have to be alone with my daughter for weeks on end in any situation other than this So to say learn to be alone isn't exactly reality.
I will not ask my W any of this until I hear from you guys. I am speaking with my IC today so I will see what he has to say and compare it to what you guys think.
