Piecing Friends, My W left a message today confirming that she is still planning on returning home. She will spend a family vacation on the east coast, starting next weekend. The following week, she will return to Florida to fly the two cats home. She will drive home.
In her message, she also stated how much she missed her friends, me, and doing fun things together. Her only complaint is that the weather is colder in Ohio, otherwise she likes living here.
We talked about taking a long weekend trip to NC sometime in June, as an alternative to her attending my family's reunion in SC. After the long weekend, I would join my family in SC, and she would fly back to Ohio. I still think it's too soon to put her in a house with my family for a week, on a resort. She always went in past years out of obligation, so now she has an alibi to not attend. I think it's the right decision.
I'm increasingly "warming-up" to the idea of a reconciliation. We had a very good recent six week visit. It was during the visit that she saw the positives that she was missing in her life, and stated that she does not want to pursue a D.
It's going to be an interesting summer!
