Am continuing on the path of being courteous and friendly to W. I don't understand how a friendship would actually work without a complete severing of our old R and forming a new one after some time has passed. After all, friends invest in each other, spend time with each other, confide and support each other. We aren't doing those things and won't be able to until after the D is final. So the dynamic is simply one of asking/granting favors - a kind of remnant of the supporting spouse. Anyway, I'm sure these things will all work themselves out with time.
In the meantime, it's a beautiful day, my windows are open, the birds are singing, a gentle breeze is blowing in from the bay. My peaches are ripe and make a delicious snack when I need a break from what I'm doing. And I'm happy to be where I'm at and doing what I'm doing! Although I'm ready to be done with school ....
