I go to school to pick up the D's. We scheduled a conference for D5.. she's doing great btw.. well beyond her years is what the teachers told us. She is a VERY smart cookie. I know all parents like to brag, but she is a smart cookie.
So.. waiting for W. Finally run into her and we go to copy a school schedule. She was nice.. asked how I was doing and gave me a flirty look. As we were walking back, I noticed a ring on one of her fingers.. I asked what it was and she spun it around and said "My ring".
Now.. this thing looked like a Wedding/Engagement ring. One of those interlaced deals. I asked where she got it.. she stammered for a minute and gave me a shy little smile and said "OM".
I was pissed.. I didn't know how to react... she said it didn't mean anything. I could care less.. I honestly didn't know how to react. I didn't even want to look at her. I made an excuse (two actually) to get away from her. She asked if I was mad and I said no.. I listened to the conference and got out of there as quickly as I could.
She asked for a hug.. I gave her a half ass hug.. I really didn't know how to respond.
Not sure what to do.. to be honest.. the best thing would've probably been to act "as if", but I wasn't prepared for that.
I wonder why she had it spun around? I did notice that his Ex and her OM picked up the kids earlier. I wonder if this prince gave my W his Ex's ring.
Needless to say, I need some space.. need to clear my head. I've gone from being wonderfully detached to being too close.
