Betsey, lost my whole post to you, not sure what happened? anyway so glad you of all people posted, I have been really torn and trying not to get my hopes up but it did seem like she extended the Olive Branch as you say?

I just have to go with it for now and operate under the assumption that even if we are only to be friends that that is the best thing for the kids in th elong run and any new R would begin with that so I will do my best to keep on track and not pressure her, I usually let her open the dialog and call or email first, I tested the water a little 2 days ago when I brought her the stuff from her Dad.

We were on her porch by ourselves on my way out to the truck and I took off my sunglasses and looked her right in th eye and said " You didn't want for me to try any harder did you?" she looked sad and said " no this is just something I need to do for me" then I said ok, gave her a big hug and whispered bye baby in her ear, turned around and walked away, she watched me intensely all the way back to the truck and as I pulled away, I got the thank you email the next morning?

She still confuses me and Ithink she still cares or she wouldn't offer up so much info in her emails to me?

On another note the kids are doin fine D15 is a sophomre and has lots of homework and S10 is in 5th grade learning what real homework is, they seem ok and it's good to be back closer to them now so I can see them a lot more. This may help change the dynamics if nothing else does?

You want I should come out and slap some sense into Mr. W ? how could a guy not fall for you, I never even met you and I think you are the greatest. Our S must be taking the same night course. Confuse a spouse 101

Thanks for replying Betsey, take care and I will bbe checking in from time to time. I really stopped posting so much because I though she may be reading them, seemed like she knew every move? I fear that she has your same keen sense so I don't try to do or say anything " ACT AS IF" if it ain't really true. She's too smart and intuitive, no fooling aloud.

Do you really think it's time to start saying exactly how I feel to her? I have been trying not to say ILY or showing too much clingy behavior and she took it for " not wanting me within 5 miles"? I am not too good of an actor sometimes?
