Well, W is just being W! she's just continuing to do exactly what she has done for the past few years, nothing has really changed. It just makes me laugh when she says she wants us to still be family but barely communicates with me and when she does it's all business. But, that's what she needs to do to keep me at a distance. Hey, if she starts allowing some kind of personal interest the flood gates might open and she might actually FEEL something for me! Whew, and we can't have that now can we!!! It might result in us actually being a REAL family again. So, as far as distancing from the family stuff, I have done a little over the holidays. I chose not to go to our friends place on New Year's Day, she went by herself with the kids. On New Year's Eve I went to a woman friends place and declined dinner with my family. I did drop by W's at about 10:00 pm to bring in the New Year with them. I don't let her know what I am doing or who I am doing it with, let her wonder a bit. I imagine she still believes Coffee Buddy and I are still some kind of item, I've never corrected her as it is none of her business! When I go out with my other woman friend I never state who it is I'm going with, on New Year's Eve I just told her "Sorry, I've made other plans but I could drop by later in the evening, if that is OK". Tonight, I am picking up the girls at W's and my friend and I are taking our four girls to an evening church service. I arranged to take the girls tonight even though it's not my night. W can have an extra whoopee night with OW, W can sit around and cry about how hard life is and OW can wipe the tears from her eyes like they've been doing for years! Wow, what a barnburner of an evening, glad I'm not part of it! Later, NH !
