Things were going a bit better, at least how we were interacting. She went to her annual dinner party for work on Saturday night, I felt that one a little bit.
I wanted to keep my mind out of there, so I made plans for Friday and a superbowl party on Sunday. I had a little too much "fun" on Friday, I'm not a kid anymore. Sunday was great, very relaxing. Good PMA to offset Saturday's sting.
She's been talking to me about work more lately, and it sounds like she's very unhappy there too. (I have gotten the Validate bit down in that area!) That makes me kind of sad for her, I thought that she was pretty happy there, she has been using it as an escape so much for the past couple of years.
I guess that's part of the MLC, so much unhappiness, and needing an escape.
Yesterday I had to go in early, so I had to wake her up to get my clothes out of the closet. She asked me if I would talk to her about the upcoming settlement conference after work. I got apprehensive about that, I couldn't see it going well. I asked what about the settlement she wanted to talk about, thinking that I would limit myself to the kids, not property. She said she hadn't received a letter back from my atty, and wanted to know if I was stalling b/c I don't want this. I told her that I was not stalling, that she should have had the response, and that she's right, I don't want this. I broke it off there and left.
Last night, we did talk a little about the settelement. Thank god, I managed to limit myself to the kids and house. It didn't go well, I didn't expect it to, but I think I did a good job for the most part.
I told her that I wasn't stalling or trying to stop her. I told her that I had talked to my mom about asking for a continuance, but had later decided against it. Mentioning my mom made her sad, she asked if I would tell her hello the next time I talk to her. I told her that I would.
She said she only sees a couple of disagreements, where the kids go to school, the house, and the money. I agreed, although I expect there will be more.
I told her that I wasn't doing anything to try to screw her over. She agreed and said I know that you are doing what you (she emphasized "you",) think is best for the kids. I agreed and said, I have to do what I think is best for them, and you have to do what you think is best for them.
These are my friends now!
But someday baby... You ain't worry my life anymore
Take away, take away what I don't need, save the good part please. Fade away, fade away.
