Last weekend she asked me if I'd ever ask her to marry me again. I got caught off guard and responded with “that’s a pretty heavy question” and shifted to something else.
"Um...we are married?"

I definitely know all about the overly happy laughing way too loud to be genuine. You should hear ExW at S7's games.

I'm curious what folks think about the "marry me again" / hugs / ILYs. I never got anything close to those. Better than getting hooked and being needy for sure, but perhaps there's a more attractive way to respond than ignoring?

I know I have to ignore it because it’s out of my control.
Keep up the good work DW17. You are the dad your kids deserve.
