First, thanks you guys for the positive support and comments.
Nothing new has happened in the last couple days in regards to W - in fact, the last time I saw or spoke with her was Sunday.
I'll be seeing her tomorrow, though. A friend is having a birthday party, and I plan on going. I know she's been invited as well. She'll probably show (if she's willing to give up gaming for a friend's birthday), as will B and his wife. However, there's also going to be several other people there, so I can completely - or mostly - avoid interacting with them.
The party's important to me because these are people I've become closer with in the past few months. They know about the whole situation, and actually asked me if I'd be OK with them inviting "other side" of my issue (W and company) to the party. I told them I'd be fine with that, that I've got good "public nice face" and knew when to leave if I was getting upset. So, I'm looking forward to spending time at my friend's party.
Here's a weird/funny little thing. B's wife sent me this message on facebook last week:
Quote:
I thought I would at least post on facebook to wish you a happy birthday. I admit I was a bit sad you didn't invite me to your party. I would have loved to have celebrated with you. So that made me wonder, have I done something to piss you off? I know I haven't talked to you all that offen, but my offers of friendship and support have never been revoked. I assumed you we getting your needs met with others and did not need my help at this time. Perhaps I am reading in to this to much. After all I do worry a lot.
Well Happy Birthday. Best wishes. Please let me know if there is any thing I can do for you.
I feel a bix of pity and "WTF?!" for her. The "wtf" factor being "Well, all you did was have a hand in persuading my wife that I'm a terrible human being and that she should leave me. And you've been helping crank up the drama-meter these last four months by adding fuel to the fire"
The pity from the fact that she so desperately wants to be a part of B's life (they're separated) that she goes to every event he's at, even if she's just sitting in a corner on her laptop.
So far I've chosen not to even respond to the message. Because how the hell would I and mange to be a) honest and b) not look like a hurtful jerk.
I should add that this isn't some big thing that I'm thinking about or that's tearing me up or anything. I just thought I'd share a bit of the wonkiness that's going around.
