After a few weeks of really detaching from my W, I’ve been more at peace than I ever was. I’ve dropped hope of reconciliation and worked towards being the best single dad I am to my kids and improving myself to the best that I can.

And all of a sudden, my W texted me if it’s time to have a talk. I’ve been standing for close to a year and now she finally initiated a talk. She was asking me if I’m ready for it because she felt that I’m not ready.

I told her I’m not 100% ready but I will try my best; whatever outcome of the talk I will respect her decision.

Any advice on what to do next? I’m more or less prepared for the worst case to happen.
