It really went well. We didn't talk a whole lot obviously, but we did a little before and after the movie. There was no R talk and things felt natural between us. She was very friendly and smiley with me. She said that it was really nice to be around me again. At one point during the movie I saw her staring at me out of the corner of my eye with a big smile. After the movie she said that we should do something where we can talk more. She said, "you have my number now and you can call me anytime ok?". That's pretty much it. Not too much to report but thought I would let you all know that it went well and was a comfortable experience for us both. Baby steps.

Juke,
You might never know exactly whats racing thru your W's mind, but maybe she's hoping for a clean start. Please try your best to give it to her, if thats what you want that is. I know it's not easy but we must accept how different our S perspectives are from ours. Good luck and I'm glad things went well.

Juke, I'm always happy to read your threads. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I've got no experience to speak from, but I get the idea that recovery, even after a DV, is still a rollercoaster. It must have felt good to be sitting next to her at the movies.

My STBX accepted an invitation to dinner tonight with the kids. She normally always says no. Things have not been good the past week. But she still accepted.

I told her afterwards that I thought the kids really enjoyed us all having dinner out together. Then added I enjoyed it too.

Like I said though, no good deed goes unpunished. When we got home she asked if I was staying in the house tonight... she wants me out asap.

I think she may be bi-polar. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
