So, I decided last night that I didn’t want to deal with the potential drama of taking a separate car, so I travelled with my W and D’s in her car. It was fine, we were cordial for the long ride. I kept it light and simple.

So we get to the house and her parents arrive as well. And, as she does in these situations,
my W changes her mask. She’s now acting mostly like my W again in front of her parents. She’s even been semi-flirtatious. I forgot what this felt like. But, I also don’t make much of it. I know what mask she’ll put back on as soon as we are back home. I plan to keep our interactions light. I’m making a lot of lighthearted jokes and having fun. I won’t pursue. And, I will keep my focus on my kids.

Oh, and that trail guide book that I supposedly took years ago is here, on the bookshelf, in the exact location where one would expect it to be. I don’t know if my W saw it, or even looked for that matter. Hell, she might not even remember her spewing at me about it just a few days ago. It wouldn’t be the first time she spewed and forgot about it almost immediately.

I don’t plan to even bring it up either. There’s no point. She wouldn’t apologize anyway. If she does mention it, I’ll just stoically acknowledge what she said at the time, but won’t ask for apology or anything.
