Walking a mile in other's moccasins....

She's perfect, on so many levels. And still pretty, in our age group. We separated over parenting prerogatives, but have become best of friends. Doing some car work for her today, and she watches Bravo while I travel. Other examples of mutual help. But we still struggle with pushing each other's buttons. While taking her to work today, so I could use her car for the maintenance, she forgot her computer at her home. On the way to the auto parts store, she called me, in a minor panic, asking for me to go to her place to get it for her. In her describing where in the house it was, I asked a few times exactly where, just to be sure. Several machines laying about---Goddess forbid bringing in the wrong one. I know her work is stressful, and perhaps this prompted the bark on the third asking. In the past, this might (certainly would) have had me return fire, saturating and for effect, but I didn't, struggling with the impulse to do so. This week, I tried to invite her and the girls to watch a concert by an itinerant lady Classical guitar duo from the PRC. Exam time precluded the girls' coming, but Mom texted her interest in just we two going. I declined, lame excuse beaming. So there. A shot at both feet?

Two expressions come to mind, learned through experience:
1) If I knew then what I know now....and
2) Hard lessons are learned well

Don't I know it!!

Sounds like you have worked out a good distance over a long period and peace is maintained so long as neither crosses lines. I'm on fair terms with my ex but not in communication as often as you two. When we do meet up we can manage as much as 4 hours before nerves fray, snipping starts, and space must be applied instantly for a while. dunno

Wise doubts, JN, but it's really true. And she's also one of my primary care clinician's. Lots of trust, both ways.

Apparently, you like to live dangerously, as "Hell hath no fury, as a woman scorned".
uh oh

While you think you have not scorned, her short fuse may indicate that she feels otherwise.
