I spoke too soon.

Here I was (riding the emotional roller coaster again), all happy because he wanted to go on the DC/NY trip with our son next year. Unfortunately, he dropped yet another bomb on me later.

I knew he was in the process of moving in with the OW and 2 of her kids, but I just assumed that they were moving to a town that's about an hour's drive north of here. That's where she got a job transfer.

Anyway, this morning H takes S13 (going on 13 in a few weeks, that is) on a drive to a house on the other side of the lake community where we live, and explains to him that this is where he's going to live -- with HER!

AND to make matters worse, they signed a one-year lease. We've moved 16 times, and we NEVER signed a one-year lease anywhere we've ever lived.

He naively thinks that I'll never bump into her. Does he honestly think I'm never going to see her at the grocery store, or at the parks, or driving around the lake?!

This all makes me sick. I know I was supposed to be all nice and friendly to him, but I was FURIOUS.

Still, through all of this, I have a tiny glimmer of hope that we'll reconcile someday.
