So today is my W's birthday. I got her a simple card, a balloon and a $25 Starbucks gift card.
I picked up D5 and another girl like usual from school today and as I was pulling into the driveway of their afterschool teacher, D5 blurts out that OM bought mommy a really pretty new car. Somehow I think their R is quite a bit further than I suspected. The afterschool teacher heard this repeated and will probably mention it to my W later this afternoon which means my W will know that I know.
I called W's friend immediately to ask her what I should do. Should I ask W about the new car? We both agree to let W tell us. She felt so sorry for me.
Well, I figure that there is a silver lining to all bad news - if he did buy her a new car, that is some pretty good evidence for me to use in showing that she does not deserve any spousal support if the D proceeds. Also, it means my W will be pretty close to making a decision about whether she wants a D or a chance again in our M.
Tonight we are all (not OM) going to an Egyptian performance for S7's school. I need to get my mind off of this new development.
