We agreed that I would give her time and space for a month

[How to communicate after a contentious divorce...]

Oh, question: so say I invite her to just have a nice, non-relationship-processing talk with me on Sunday... .Should I text her that intention soon, or wait to hear from her on Saturday? Saturday could be the day she potentially tells me that she wants to say goodbye on Sunday.

I'd pre-empt it all with the apology text before Saturday. I wouldn't announce a discussion format - just go with it.

Wait, what do you mean? What should I say?

I actually have some important job-related stuff coming up, so I could be like "hey, I need to not get riled up this weekend, can we just have a calm, ice-breaking, catch-up talk on Sunday?" and buy some time with that.

I sent her an email, pretty casual, just asked her if we could drop the heavy stuff until after christmas and just have a nice talk and catch up on each other's lives.

Phew. "I feel good about that. I've been having kind of a shi**y few weeks, so that definitely works for me." Reprieve!
