Quote: And, we've been going about once every 3 weeks lately. Either one of the kids asks or W 'really wants to go'. It's sort of 'comfort food'.
My guess is she is trying the new you on for size to see how you fit with the new HER & how you guys mesh as a family. The sentimentality of that restaurant alone suggests to me her "run" just might be coming to a close soon. I remember I'd have sooner chewed nails than to have gone anywhere that had ever meant something to my H and I.
Quote: W seems exhausted and when she was telling me something she accidentally called me 'sweetie'
You would say it's an accident because she's been doing it for 20 years and so she just slipped. I would say she wouldn't slip if there was as much turmoil inside of her as there was just a few months ago...when she couldnt have slipped for all the anger and other junk she was dealing with. BUT NOW, a lot of that is being worked out and she is finding HERSELF again. And YOU are part of that. Calling you sweetie was not an accident, I don't think. No. She called you sweetie because you ARE a sweetie and she is coming to realize you are HER sweetie and that that might not be such a bad thing after all.
