Back again.... Well, things continue to go smoothly. Today Ss10 has morphed into Ss11, so last night, at W's suggestion, we all went to dinner. Third dinner with her and kids in the last eight days (but who's counting)! All went well, then we went back to her house for presents and cake. D8 and S6 took baths there, and then were to come to my house as it was "my night" to have them. Since it was late, all I would have done is take them to my house and put them to bed. As they were already at mom's house, with PJ's on, I suggested that it would probably be less disruptive for them if they were to just stay there. So that's what happened. We all spent about three hours together, and even on the way over, I stopped and got baloon bouquets, party favors, silly string and other fun stuff, and I know W appreciated that.
It all seemed very comfortable last night and I don't pick up on her feel anxious having me around, or that she's concerned about how long I was there. I like that.
Spoke to her and saw her very briefly today. D8 came home early from school a bit sick, so I ended up picking up the boys and took them home. Saw W for less than a minute. She seemed irritated by something, and I suspect it wasn't me so I didn't let it worry me. So I just said goodbye and took off.
I have not invited her to do anything, nor even hinted that we get together for anything. I did let her know that I'd like to have the kids for a couple hours on Saturday the 22nd for a big Easter egg hunt. I didn't tell her it was at the church. I'll follow up with her on that in about ten days, and if things are still going well, I'd like to suggest that she join us. Wait and see.......
Been going back to the gym regularly. I put back on about fifteen of the nearly sixty pounds I lost. Good living! I'll admit, I've been doing some dating lately, going out for dinner and drinks more than I should and all that. Over the past couple weeks though, now that I'm wondering what's going on with my wife, I've backed off of the women that I've been seeing and even ended everything with Linda. Yeah, you all thought that was over in December, but things just happen...... She and I are completely through now. She knows she cannot compete with my desire to be with my family and won't stand in the way or be my fallback. So now, I'm just standing still, and standing alone. I'm going to get back in great shape again (not that the wheels have fallen off or anything), spend a lot of time working and focusing on what the future may bring.
