Thanks for the advice. I know I need to take care of my needs and at the very least won't be initiating tonight or tomorrow. I've got some things that need finished around the house and I might try to go out with some people with work tonight.
Quote: "XW, I've had a really good time with you and the kids lately, but I really feel I need some me time. But how about we get together on (insert a day one or two or so days from now) and do X, Y, or Z with the kids?"
Not sure I can do this. Thinking so far in advance seems a little too much pursuit at this point, although a vague..."we should do x,y,z with kids sometime or this weekend" would be more up my alley and show that I am interested in continuing to do things with them. I don't think I'll say the part about having a good time with you lately (even though it's true).
Anyway, minor update. We were slow this morning getting out of the house so X dropped by for her son before I had left. Maybe I was waiting hoping for kisses? Anyway, she came in and got some coffee. I came up to her and hugged her and held it for quite a while, perhaps part of the time with a little sexual undertone.
I told her "you look nice, as always." She asked "As always?" And I said "Well, almost always." "Almost always?" Kind of ribbing me. I laughed it off and said yeah, but added "actually you always look good" and let my hands wander down a bit.
I did call this morning and tell her it looked like I'd be able to watch the kids if she wanted, but we needed to work out something for the day they have off from school that I have to work.
