Lessons from a former WAS

[thegoodfight]

I haven't given any information recently, I have been letting things settle in for a while. Really nothing new to report, I treat her with respect as she does me. I occasionally give her compliments on her beauty or hair. Mostly I just compliment the meals and the cleanliness, she does the same. Funny it is second nature now. We always say have a good night and talk to you later. She hugs me a little although typically I initiate it. Not all the time but most of the time it is me. Don't know what she is thinking she still has her ring off.

I haven't and don't check her phone anymore. She invites me and uses we when it comes to weekend family plans. I gave her what she asked for a budget breakdown and a couple of options, she has said nothing about it. Don't know if there is anything to make of it or not. But we seem to be tolerating each other and getting along fairly well.

I do have moments where I miss my wife very much and I do not forget what I have done to her world, my son's world, the family's world and my world. I know with the information I am armed with and my tireless search that things will get continue to get better no matter the end result.

Most importantly I have relearned the importance of walking the talk, not talking the walk.
