Well, got off work today, met a coworker at the local public golf course and gave him a 30 minute putting lesson. Then over to my mom and dads to break the news to them that W had filed for divorce. Dad is 83, mom is 74. They have treated my W as their own daughter so they were pretty upset. I made it through telling them EVERYTHING without any tears being shed and no one was maimed or injured. Dad did say ohh S**t, you're not very good at this are you?? (marriage). My reply was "evidently not". Sort of hurt me for a moment but I think it was an attempt at humor on his part.
Then onto a town about 30 minutes away where I was to meet my W and D to eat before the Relay for Life event. This was planned before the papers were delivered to me today so I had a choice to make-take the high road and do the event anyway or take the low road and say screw you.. I took the high and went to the event. Had a good time chasing my 2 year old around the local college. Man to be young again..the college girls at this event were something else.
Before the event I ate with the W and D. I asked my W about her day and made small talk then said oh by the way your papers were delivered to my workplace today. I heard a great sucking sound as I heard the air fly out of her lungs. She said, so you stopped at an attorneys office that's why you were late? I said nope, stopped by mom and dads to tell them, W said..And?? I said and what?? W says what did they say..I said their not happy..I told her I was not interested in just a friendship if the Divorce goes forward, I would be nice to her for my D but that would be the extent of our R. I also told her I would not be turning back and that she was free to go find her happiness, that was the extent of the R talk.
One thing I noticed, she's in an awful hurry. May have a shoulder to cry on out there somewhere. I've determined either that's the problem, or she's pre-menopausal or into menopause already, or her hypothyroid is screwing up her hormones. Throw Prozac in that mix and it's no wonder I'm considered the Big Bad Wolf.
My divorce papers are proudly displayed where she will walk by them daily. She has kept her copy hid since the filing. I think she should see mine laying out, just to remind her what she is doing.
