Hi everyone. It's been a up and down past few weeks.

I have started a new job that I love and could prove to her very lucrative.

My life was shaping up and then last weekend while dropping our daughter off she asked to for me to come in talk - I declined and said I wanted to wait until my class was done in 2 weeks. She started to cry. I took that as her having feelings for me.

As it turns out she wanted to discuss going to a mediator to make sure the custody of our child was kept civil and pleasant. I told her sure, I just need another week or 2 because I'm busy with my new job training. She was completely fine with that.

I now think the tears were related to me sometimes pushing things off from time to time.

Needless to say I let my thoughts and emotions get involved and imagine things.


Tonight I'm wrecked. She asked for the remaining of her furniture back, which I would rather do versus her coming into my house.

I'm tempted to talk to her and clarify that this is a step she wants to take.

Practicing restraint.
