Hi Fb2 - I am lucky to not be fighting with her. Hopefully it will stay that way.
When I got home from the trip, we got out some of the things we bought and collected (rocks) on the trip to show W. At the opal mines in northern Nevada, my kids compelled me to buy some opal jewelry for their mom. There was a beautiful set of ear rings and a pendant for $280 that I got and I told the kids that the pendant was for their mom and the ear rings were for my future girl friend. When W was given the pendant, she saw the ear rings and asked who they were for and I told her it was for my GF. She sure seemed taken back by that and wanted more details. I just clarified and said "future" GF.
When I was showing her some of the pictures and videos on the computer of our trip, she was holding my arm. When she went to leave with the kids, she asked me for a hug which I reluctantly gave her. A couple months ago, I would have been estatic that W was showing affection towards me, but I really have lost the love in my heart for her now.
