Marriage with WAW ended, but...

so, a quick update to my post from 9/18. it's interesting to me how well ex and I are getting along now that we're D'd. It's almost as if going through those motions and formally ending the M has given us a new opportunity. It's allowed her to be more comfortable with me. I think she realizes that my good behavior during the S and mediation process wasn't a ploy or strategy but was sincere, because I'm continuing to act the same way now that we're D'd.

we had been chatting off and on since my last post and last night she stopped by to check out the remodeling work I did to the kitchen. She brought over 4 beers and we spent about an hour and a half just BSing and laughing. No R talk; at this point I'm not even going there. She's still with OM and I'm respecting that choice. Just grateful to maintain a solid friendship right now. She did make a quick comment about how her new R was a bit challenging due to the co-worker issue, and his kids, and him being a little older, but we didn't spend much time on it.

It was a good evening. Bottom line, things do get better everyone, even if D has happens. Who knows where things will go from here between my ex and I, but I can honestly say that life is good. I did not feel this way a year ago. Even 6-7 months ago for that matter.
