I got a phone call about about 7:30 this morning. It was W telling me that the dogs were fighting terribly and that she needed to drop our dog off at my office because she couldn't leave them alone. We agreeed that we would try again on Friday evening so that she could be with them over the weekend to see if they would calm down around each other. If it doesn't work with the dog living with her it will mean that she will be forced to choose the mutt that OW brought home a month or so ago over our dog that she has had and loved for 12 years. More importantly, it will mean that she will be forced to accept that she can never have our dog again as long as she is in the R with OW. It becomes yet another cost of her choices.

I met with W at around 8:30 and she dropped off the dog. She ended up staying and chatting for about 15 minutes.

When she arrived. I noticed right away that she looked like she was about to start crying. I asked her if she was ok and she said that she was and that she was just tired. I could tell she was tired and she was yawning but I still wonder if she was making an excuse.

During our conversation, it came up that W went for a job interview yesterday. She said that she hated her job and hated the people that she works with. She says that they all talk behind her back and pick on every little thing she does wrong. Personally I think it is because her actions and lifestyle give them lots to talk about and she has admitted to me in the past that she is having trouble with her job. Like I have said in the past this is very unusual for W who has always excelled at her job and gotten along very well with her coworkers.

W went on to say that the place that she works at now pays very well and to move she will have to take a pay cut. We'll see how she handles that but I don't think she can afford to take a paycut. Especially now that she has bought a house.

The job things is important to this whole mess to me. She left a job that she loved so that she would make more money so that she could leave me. Now it has become yet another source of pain caused by her choices.

I don't know what her friends have done to her but in the 15 minutes that we talked she said f**k about 8 to 10 times while discribing how the dogs got along. She has never sworn this much before the bomb.
