Well, I just got back from an evening out with the family. We went downtown to look at Christmas lights and store windows with my parents. Yes, me, my XW, my kids and my parents. Wow, W and I spend more time together now that we're separated than we did when we were married! ha ha ha. W asked me if I'd like to come over for New Years Eve dinner and I declined saying I had other plans for the evening, which I do. A woman friend asked me to come over to her place for a small gathering of friends and I'm going. I told W I'd drop over about 10:00 pm and bring in the New Year with them, she said that would be fine. I wanted very much to say yes to the dinner invitation but it's not prudent to look too available and eager. I also kept what I was doing and who I would be with to myself, keeping my activities somewhat mysterious. I do wonder whether W is just trying to keep up the "we are family" charade while also continuing to keep OP in the shadows so that everything in her little world remains the same. Who knows, but I'm going to do what works for me here, there won't be any Whatis panting to get back together, uh uh. I'm building my own new life here, she can work to be part of it or not, I'm not waiting with abated breath, that's for sure!
