I get the psychology / strength aspect of it, but wouldn't waste your time making her life easier and more comfortable. She's a big girl; she can fend for herself. You spend that bed shopping time in the gym instead. Maybe have an air mattress from Amazon...let her sleep on that!

Don't "hope" in W's actions. That's passive and weak. Take charge. It takes less than two minsto create a new online bank account, and it can't be that complicated to change direct deposits from work - make it happen.

It feels like she’s trying to pull me back in, but you guys said to expect this and I'm not getting sucked back into her web. I'll continue to keep my responses short, try to follow the advice I've been getting and stay as busy as I can this weekend.
Good stuff! Keep being attractive and mysterious. Make her wonder.

[quote=Kind18]It’s helpful when the things you tell me to expect play out in reality. Makes it easier to see what’s actually happening and prevent me from misinterpreting things.
Indeed. Knowledge is power.
