This am: W calls to see if I've walked the dog already. I say yeah but she can again. She stops by, I'm in the tub. Interesting interaction there. She says she's dropped off the D stuff for my review. I say ok and we discuss house sitch briefly. I don't know...there seemed like some sort of flirtatiousness so I asked for a kiss while in the tub and she gave it. Hmmmmmm
I go to church. I call back after that and say the divorce stuff looks ok and hang up. She calls later, but I'm in the midst of brunch and say I'll call back. I go shopping for a bit first then swing by her place rather than call. She's obviously in a bad way. Seems everything conspired against her at once and she's having a bad day. I really felt for her. She started crying and so I hugged to comfort her. We actually layed on the bed for quite a while snuggling and discussing some of her options. At no point did I say coming back to me was an option. She asked why after all that she had said (she said just this a.m.--"we both know I'm not coming back") that I was being nice to her. I said "because I said I was only interested in your happiness and you don't look happy" and kissed her cheek. It never got weird and I didn't sense she didn't want to be in that position. I hung out a little longer then left. She stopped by later to leave the kids....she needed a break.
Tonight: Hung out here for awhile...small talk...then went to dinner...missed the movie we were gonna go to. Then I watch the kids for a bit longer. A hug I tried didn't go over great this time so I should have left it alone. We left good though.
So that's my sitch in a nutshell. The paperwork is done to my satisfaction and I am still willing to sign off on it. If I do will she back out before divorce or will she proceed? I wish I knew. But it is only a piece of paper. It's not over until I quit.
So what does anyone think? Back off a bit? I've pretty much been going with the flow.
