I'm sure you're right. A meaningful convo won't occur in front of the kids and I will try to find time for one. But you know, she never had problems before swinging by and talking. She never had problems going walking the dog with me and talking. She initiated more when she wasn't "trying" than she is now that she wants to try. So suddenly she's nervous being around me? I think the truth is that she felt safer around me when she knew I was hung up on her and she was leading me on than she is now that I'm not desperate for a renewed relationship with her.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
