From reading your post, it seems that it was more of a balanced day as opposed to a bad one. In the grand scheme of things, that's not bad. But given our expectations, even mediocre days can seem like bad ones.

I have to admit, I guess so far I'm fortunate that W hasn't taken family time to spend with OM yet. I'm emphasizing yet, because I'm sure it will come about. As far as I know, she's used personal time from work and some time in the morning (at least one occasion that I can verify) to see him. I guess when the time comes, I'll be low once again. Oh well, can't dwell on it.

Its strange, but reflecting back, I can't really ever remember W and I talking about our relationship either. Neither one of us are good at opening up, and in fact, I am probably more apt to discuss feelings than she is. Part of who she is. She has never been overly affectionate and willing to part with emotions.

One bright note, she didn't say she wouldn't attend C session with you....there's hope there. Its obvious that's she's curious about it.

Dancing with the Stars??!!?? jk

In any event, it appears that you have stayed the course for at least another day. I wish you all the luck in making this day better.
