I enjoyed that. It seems very reasonable. But I wonder where I'm at. We know from previous that I screwed up stage 2, it went back to stage 1 and she became more determined. Then she read the thread and went back to stage 1, but more determined. I do not feel she's left stage 1. Because of dragging stage 1 and 2 out so long she's gotten really close to divorce. I'm really not sure it can be derailed.
Remember how I said I would do nothing? Well I did do something. I called a realtor. I also asked my wife if she wanted to be part of sale of house. Then I called back and said...that was really insensitive at this time...I'm sorry. I just wanted to get the realtor's impression.
Was that all? Hell no. I stopped over there after work to pick up s-son. I said...I'm sorry for how I acted. Being friends with you is better than not having any contact. I did a few things for her at the apartment then before I left I initiated a hug. It was okay I suppose. I saw her again after that briefly. Short sweet interactions. She did drop off the dog without saying anything, but that's okay.
So Sage, what stage does that put me at? I promise I will be patient through stage 2 if it ever comes again. I will not bring up D until I'm served with papers. I guess you should have been quicker. THanks for your comments though. I appreciate it.
