Had a word with my Dad, basically he doesnt understand what I am doing, but understands that I am doing what I think is best for my W and baby. Ended up talking to my Mum too, she is the same, except more worried. She cried. I gave her a big hug and told her that everything will be ok, and to trust me that I can make this better. (a bit of a role reversal hey!)
For Sandi: I asked my Mum if she had noticed any difference in me, she said yes. I said that I am growing up. She looked a bit sad and said that she liked me the way I was before. I just smiled and told her that I couldnt really have stayed like that now could I! She can sympathise with my W as she says she couldnt live with me now! Gee thanks Mum!
My W went round to talk to my Mum last night too. Just the 2 of them. My mum just offered any help she can and wanted my W to know that she is there for her.
Between me and W seems to keep getting better slowly, and I have the `skills` now to bring a sitch back round to the good if it starts to turn sour.
Regarding the 2nd OM. W said she told him 2 days ago that things between me and her are getting better. She said that we are working towards the marriage. He seemed pleased for her she said. She said he only sent 1 text yesterday. I suppose it is an improvement. Would I be out of my bounds asking W to show me the texts from him? As a show of trust?
I think the orignal OM may be around for a while yet, even just as a `friend`. I will need to put it over to my W that I can be the only close man in her life, so it will have to be cold turkey, or I cant stay. (if it comes to that). I am sure that it will just fade out if it goes at all. I kinda wish there could be a deciding `moment`. Where she realises that she has been stupid and she wants me and sacks him off! Or the fantasy of me going in a warning him off my W! But I suppose I will have to take it as it comes!
Anyway got to go now!
Cheers
