H4H,

I'm glad you're enjoying your kids -- you're a great dad!

I'm not seeing where your words here:

I have pulled way back. . . I'm not ok with her leaving, but if she intends to keep the relationship with OM, then good riddance. She HAS to go. If she intends to end it with him, then a separation might be good for us.


is aligning with your actions here:

Quote:
We are up and discussing dinner. It stormed today around lunch time. Roomie asks:
"Did your truck get flooded?"
My Ramcharger has an airvent over the cargo area and my window slides down leaving a 4'' gap.
"I got a little rain inside before I went to close it."
"I thought about you when it started to rain."
"What, were you laughing at me. You could have called me to remind me about my windows."
"I know you would have remembered."
"Yeah, I did after about 20 minutes of rain."
She smiles.
She starts cooking. D11 is complaining about a song D6 keeps on singing. "She won't stop", D11 says. Roomie say, "She is just happy." Then she starts to sing the words, "She is just happy, she is just happy, she is just happy."

Ok? Roomie is happy, too.

I am putting away dishes. She makes the girls a plate. I bend down to pick up something in the kitchen. I see roomie walk right up to me. I straighten up and she says, "Hi, friend!" with her arms wide open. I give a look like she is nuts. I go for the hug. Big hug. Tight hug. My face is in her neck. Hers in mine. Ongoing. We hear D6 looking for a fork. Roomie has one in her hand. Without breaking the hug, she says "Here Juli" and reaches her arm out. D6 takes the fork and she goes right back to the full hug. We never moved our faces.

I say softly,
"You must have had a good day".
"It was ok."

As we are swaying a bit, I forget to break first. She does.


I'm just not seeing it.
