I'm curious what folks think about the "marry me again" / hugs / ILYs.
Well I think I got my answer, or at least part of it, courtesy of D18. She said W was talking to her in the car the other day and said she was going to kill me with kindness because she is about to break my heart. W has been noticeably nicer the past week or so, but this is the exact reason you guys say not to get hopes up after positive interactions. You never know the actual motive behind the behavior.
It's weird to me that W is pretending to care about breaking my heart. She did that months ago by being unfaithful again and turning into a terrible mother to my kids. My broken heart has been healing as I’ve tried to accept her as the person she actually is rather than the person I wish she was. I know feelings change, but I don’t know that I’ll feel anything other than disappointment toward her.
Yesterday I decided to drive to the final lawyer that I wanted to speak with, rather than leaving another message. I’m glad I did. We talked for about an hour, she didn’t charge me anything and she was more helpful than the first two I spoke with. She recommended that I try to negotiate with W first and if I need her to look over any paperwork or anything, she will just bill me for that time. I’ve got some things to sort out this week, but I feel much better finding a L that I’m comfortable with. I didn’t get a good vibe from the other ones.
