Went round to see kids other week and om was there, w & om and her brothers & sisters & their respective spouses were all of to see guns & roses. It was a week night, I heard g&r didn't start till after 11pm and it was a pretty cold, late night.
So om is getting to hang out with w's family now. Sort of is accepted as it were. Oh well, wonder if they'll scare him away.
W seems to have opened up to me slightly. Actually said I could join her meditation group the other night. I declined, personally I think all the new age meditation stuff she & her friends are into is no good. She has an unhealthy interest in astrology, tarot, spirits and past lives etc.
Is middle of school holidays here, 2 weeks, so w has decided to head off for the weekend by herself. Well with original om actually. Luckily I had prior knowledge of this so was very upbeat when she finally told me. "Oh lucky you, going there this time of year", "If you catch up with 'old friend' make sure you say hello from me", "you right for a lift to the airport" etc.
This is hard just letting stuff happen and not being able to do anything about what w is doing. I feel she probably shouldn't have gone off during school holidays but see no point in bringing it up with the w or even mentioning it to any of the in-laws. I'm trying to not mention this sit. to any of the in-laws, they all advise me to move on.
Well I've still got a bit more life in me yet. Heck it's not even 2 years yet. Can't belive I just wrote that. Someone once said look at 1 month for every year of the marrage/relationship as a possible measure of the time it may take to heal serious problems. So there's another 6 months possibly.
Will I still be doing my version of standing then? Who knows, I don't.
Took the 3 youngest to Australia Zoo today, all had a good time. They had a climbing thing there, you wear a harness and are attached to a cable and get to climb this artificial structure with toe holds all the way up them. I'm sure you've all seen them. Well d10 & d12 had a few goes, I was impressed. So I had a go too. There was two young Irish lads had a go too. The first one took 56 seconds on the hard climb and his mate did 1 min plus so I took up the imagined (in my head) challenge. 37 seconds thank you very much. Felt good seems they were half my age. But I guess they weren't as puffed out as I was at the end though.
Seem to be handling the sit. better as time goes on. Still plenty of work to do on my good self. Can't expect too much from w's slight thawing given om sit. Can always work on making him jealous but all I can really do is work on me.
Seem to do more lurking here than posting. There is plenty of good advice and support here.
